PREFACE. 



The German Language is now deservedly ranked among the 
leading studies in many of our High Schools and Academies. 
Its treasures in every department of knowledge, in every variety 
of composition, are certainly among the wonders of literary 
achievement. Among European tongues it holds a decided su- 
periority of rank ; surpassing them all in the abundance of 
its words, in the richness of its internal resources, and in its 
wonderful flexibility. Hence the propriety of its place among 
liberal studies. 

But the motives to the study of this language reach far be- 
yond the circles of literary life. Celerity and cheapness of 
travel, growing out of recent improvements in navigation, have 
united in producing an easy intercourse between Germany and 
America. Besides, we have already in our midst an immense 
and daily augmenting German population. The language of 
this people is spoken extensively among us. and has hence come 
to have a high practical value. It is often set down as an in- 
dispensable qualification even for a common clerkship. 

Such being the character and importance of the German lan- 
guage, various attempts have been made, as was natural, to 
give greater facility in learning it. Some of these are unques- 
tionably excellent works ; executed, according to the plan which 
they have adopted, in a manner skillful and judicious. But just 
here, in plan, as it seems to the present writer, all of them are 
more or less lacking; and out of this conviction has ansen the 
present volume. 

The grounds of this conviction may be briefly stated. Years 
ago, when the author, with something of enthusiasm, resolved, 
if possible, to master the language, and for that, among other 



VI r R E F A E . 

purposes, resided for some time in Germany, he found his ar 
dor not a little abated by the circumstance, that, in no one of 
the numerous grammars which he had collected about him, was 
he able to pursue his studies on what he deemed philosophical 
principles. The methods of the books were in one sense va- 
rious ; but all were plainly divisible into two extremely oppo- 
site classes. In one class theory held the sway ; in the other 
practice was supreme. The one seemed bent upon grounding 
the pupil in set rules and forms, and anxious chiefly to present 
and impress the language, as a thing of science, a systematic 
whole. The other appeared to deal almost exclusively in sep- 
arate and independent facts ; intent only on exhibiting and 
teaching the German tongue, as a thing of art, a medium of com- 
mon communication. That such a knowledge of the language as 
he had proposed to himself to acquire, could never be obtained 
by either of these methods exclusively, was perfectly evident. 
That not only the surest, but even the shortest route to his ob- 
ject, might be found in the due combination of the two, seemed 
not less obvious. For art has her only just basis in the science 
that lies underneath ; without which she is liable to frequent 
failure and perpetual uncertainty. 

The attempt, then, in this book is to unite and narmonize 
more fully two things, which, in teaching a language, ought 
never to be separated : the theoretical and the practical. This 
leading feature being announced, we now proceed to specify 
some details of the plan. , 

It assumes in the outset, as ever afterward, the position of 
the careful and considerate living teacher ; that is, introduces 
one by one the easier forms and usages of the language, and 
directs attention to the more obvious differences between the 
German and the English. It here seeks to avoid the error of 
frightening the beginner with a formidable array of rules, de- 
clensions and conjugations, which he is, as yet, in no wise pre 
pared to entertain. 

After a certain amount of progress in these preliminary 
steps, the pupil is put upon the exercise of composing in Ger- 
man. To this end he is taught to regard every German sen- 
tence, given him for translation, as a model on which he is to 



P Pv E F A C E . Vll 

build one cf his own. He is in no wise trammeled as to the 
thought ; he is under no necessity of divesting it of some par- 
ticular English dress, given it by the hand of another ; but is 
encouraged to take any thought which may suggest itself, and, 
under the guidance of his model sentence and what other light 
he has received, to put it into a German garb. In this way, 
he comes gradually to feel the difference between the English 
and the German modes of expression, and thence derives ac- 
curacy and readiness in making them. Conjointly with this 
process, and in order to its more complete success, the practice 
of turning English sentences into German, as well as German 
into English, is carried on in a series of exercises at once pro- 
gressive, comprehensive and systematic. 

It supplies the learner throughout all these various exercises 
with the materials necessary to their due performance. Every 
lesson is headed with the statement and illustration of all new 
principles involved, an explanation of difficult words and 
phrases, and a vocabulary alphabetically arranged. Nothing, 
indeed, is left unsupplied, which the student can not readily 
obtain for himself. 

It does not, however, in regard to grammatical instruction, 
leave the learner here. For, although it embraces sornewdiere 
or other in the previous course, all the leading facts and fea- 
tures of the language, it purposely deals with them rather as 
individuals than as components of a grammatical system. It 
takes them analytically, not synthetically. But now, having 
accomplished its purpose in this respect, it invites the attention 
of the student to a new and more scientific aspect of them. 
They come before him now, not as new things, but in new re- 
lations. He has all the advantage of an impressive review, 
and at the same time gives discipline to his mind, by giving 
order to its acquisitions. 

It furthermore, as is plain, adapts itself to all classes of 
teachers and learners. Those who insist upon the more purely 
practical method, who regard every thing beyond as superflu- 
ous, if not pernicious, will find the course contained in the first 
part, all-sufficient, it is believed, to answer their demands. 
To those, on the other hand, who can tolerate nothing short of 



Y1H PREFACE. 

a strictly systematic course, first and last, the second part will, 
it is hoped, be found no unacceptable offering. To those, 
finally, who sympathize with the author in the view that these 
two methods can and ought to be united in teaching a language, 
the entire work is presented with all the confidence of expe- 
rienced success. 

To render it yet more complete in itself, a carefully selected 
series of Heading Lessons, from the best German writers, has 
been added, together with a full vocabulary (pp. 471 and 505). 

Throughout the volume, great care has been taken to furnish 
in every particular, however trivial it might seem, the most 
reliable instruction. And in this respect, as in others, it is 
hoped, the work will be found especially acceptable to that 
large class of students who aim at the acquisition of the lan- 
guage mainly without the aid of a teacher. Indeed, for their 
purposes, many features in the system will prove peculiarly 
serviceable. 

In the matter of declension and conjugation — in the account 
of derivatives and compounds — in the tabular views of verbs, 
regular and irregular, simple and compound — in the illustra- 
tions of the powers and uses of the prepositions and other par- 
ticles — in short, in all leading points, the author has sought 
to present those views only which are now recognized as the 
best and truest by the highest German authorities. To the 
labors of Becker and IIeyse especially is he indebted ; though 
numerous are the works on German grammar, which have 
been consulted in view of this publication. 

Finally, with the sincere desire that this course of study may 
subserve the purpose of rendering the German language and 
literature more easy of access, and with a grateful acknowiedg 
ment of the friendly aid which has been received from several 
gentlemen of known ability in linguistic science, the work is 
respectfully submitted.

SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS. 

I. Vowels. 

^. 21, a sounds like a in ah, marl : 2Hm, @aal, 23Iath 

2. ®, e sounds like e in tete, very : (Ernft, jpeer, iperr. 

3. 3; i sounds like i in pique, ill: 3f) r , ^3^ $ittb« 

4. D, o sounds like o, oo, in no, door: Dl)r, Sftonfc, Soot. 

5. U, u sounds like o, oo, in do, moor : Ufyr, £unS, Ufer. 

6. §}, ^ sounds like i in 3fyr, 23ifr, Sfop, @ty£/ ©tynip. 

A vowel when doubled, or followed by fc in the same syllable, is 
thereby lengthened; preceding a double consunant it is shortened. 

"Words in this and the following lessons, unless otherwise noted, 
take the primary accent on the first syllable. 

II. Umlauts. 

The Umlauts are produced by a union of e with a, p, it, respectively, 
as in 9lefyre or SUfyxz, Del or Dl, ueber or itber. Except when they are 
capitals, however, the e is more commonly expressed by two dots; 
thus, a, 6, ii, (instead of cte, oe, ue). 

1. 2le, a sounds nearly like e in Slepfel, ©artner, fpat 

2. De, b sounds as heard in Del, $)cfrel, d)btfye. 

3. Uc, ii sounds as heard in ttefcel, flitter, ©lit. 

For 5 and it we have in English no corresponding sounds. Oel 
and <Sitb, for example, might be understood if pronounced ail ana 
seed; 1 utthis is by no means the correct pronunciation. The French eu 
in pew, answers most nearly, perhaps, to o; andw in the word vu to ii, 

III. Diphthongs. 

h 2U, at (or at)) sounds like ay in aye : 

2. 2tu, ail sounds like ou in flour 

3. (Si, ei (or ety) sounds like i in die: 

4. (Su, eu sounds nearly like oi in oil : 

5. %tu, an sounds nearly like eu in :

IV. Consonants. 

1 23, t, f, \, f, I, m, rt, p, q, r, a, p^, ff and ft sound like b, d. 

f, h, k, ], m,n, p, q, x, ck, ph, ss and st. 

2. (S, c before c (or a), i and 9 in the same syllable ^unds 

like 3 (fc) ; otherwise like ! : (Seter, cknf, (Sepal', 

3. ©, a, at the beginning of a syllable sounds like y in gun. 

After n, in the same syllable, it sounds like our g hard 
in like position : Slngjt, Sterna,, gar. Otherwise its sound 
usually approaches that of ct): Sag, regnen, $!agb. 

4. £>, $ in the midst or at the end of a syllable ii silent, but 

serves to lengthen its vowel : 9JM)r, 2ot)n, Z^vin, •D'httlj* 

5. 3, J sounds like y consonant : Saljr, 3ut>e, 3aratar, 3uM. 

6. 3t, r is uttered with a trill or vibration of the tongue, and 

with greater stress than our r : 9totjr, 53rot>. 

7. @, f at the beginning of a syllable followed by a vowel, 

has a sound between that of z and s: <Sol)tt, ftnfc* Other- 
wise it sounds like s: ©a*, tt>a3. At the end of a word 

g, instead of f, is employed. 

8. Z, t sounds like t in test: £crt, 2tyt. Where in English t 

sounds like sh, t has the sound of 3 (ts) : (Station, station. 

9. 23, » sounds like / in fit: Setter. In foreign words & sounds 

like to 1 Sene'fctg, 5$erfai'tfe£. 

10. 2£, it) has a sound between that of w and v: 2Mt, SBaffer* 

After a consonant, in the same syllable, it sounds like w : 
(Setter, groet, 

11. 3, 3 sounds like ts: 3^1, 3afim, 3ittrt, $el3, Simmer. 

V Compound Consonants. 

1. (Ef), d) in primitive words, followed by 3, sounds like Jci 
£acc;3, ©acfc^. Otherwise d) has its guttural sound : £udj 
nad>, tyod}.* In foreign words d) retains its original sound: 
£§or, dormant'. 



* To aid in producing this sound take, for experiment, the above 
-word bed) : pronounce fyo precisely like our word ho! cbserring only 
to give as full and distinct a breathing at the close as at the beginning ; 
thus, hoh=^Q&j. When not preceded by a, 0, or u, however, a slight 
hissing sound of s or sh naturally attaches to the d); id), red)t, reid). 



22 VOWELS AND CONSOS A.NTS. 

2. <5$, fdj sounds like sh : (Sdjttur, @$tft>, ©^iKcr, ©djule. 

3. $ (though compounded of f and 3) sounds like ([, aud occurs 

only at the end of a syllable : gu§, nafj, fyajjlid). 

4. J (compounded of t and 3) sounds like 3 and like jj, is used 

only at the end of a syllable : $la|3, jhtjjen, nit^tid^. 

VI. Accent, 

1 In words compounded with a separable particle (§ 90 and 

91), as also, with the prefix im, the primary accent is on 
the first syllable : ah "fallen, a&'gefatten, un'gefatlig, Un'fatL 

2 (E i final, and also { r (or ier), in verbs ending in ir e n (or 

tcrcn), take the accent : (Bd)rei6eret', poli'ren, rifft'mu 

3, Foreign words that have dropped the original endings, 

usually take the accent on the last syllable : a. Wlmixal', 
(EontrajV. Those that have taken German endings are gen- 
erally accented on the penult: h. Srctnjo'ftfd), 5lpott)e'fcr, 
Those that remain unchanged in form, often retain the 
original accent: c. Solle'gtum, Sftmtfte'rium. 

4. Nearly all words, except those above noted, are accented on 

the radical or primitive syllable, thus corresponding to our 
words of Anglo-Saxon origin : $Btrtt>'mut)le, greunfc'fdjflft, 
ubmrad/jm, untcrnet/men, serftel/cn, le'bcn. Scbcn'ruj is 
one of the very few exceptions to this latter rule. 

In German as in English, the accent is often varied for the sake of 
contrast or emphasis: Gr i|t rtidjt b e'fefyrt, fonbern »er'fcfyrr, he is not 
converted, but per' verted.

an character (L. III.) will soon render it familiar, and at the same time be welJ 
tapted to fix in the memory the forms and meanings of the words.

LESSON V. lection V. 

©trig en and 28 art en in the present tense singular. 



1st prs. id) ftng-e, I sing; 
2a 7 . prs. (Sic fing-cn, you sing ; 
Zd. prs. cr fmg-t, he sings; 



id) mart-e, I wait ; 
@ie ttart-en, you wait ; 
cr tuart-ct, he waits. 



1. Thus the present tense singular is indicated by c for the 
first person, en for the second, and t (or et*) for the third: that 
part preceding these endings being the root. 

2. For the three forms common in English, the German has 
but one: thus, id) fmgc, I sing, I do sing, I am singing. 

3. Like ftngen and ftartcn are conjugated in the same tense 
and number, unless otherwise designated, the verbs in this 
and subsequent exercises. 

33etfptele. Examples. 

T^er SDfamt ftngt ba3 £teb. The man is singing the song. 

3u) Ijore roaS <3te fageit. I hear what you are saying.

3d) fvuife bad 3)a£ter'. I am buying the paper. 

£>er ^iillcr trtnft $affee imb £ljee. The miller drinks coffee and tea. 

* "When the root ends in b or t, the 3d. person adds e to the t; thus, 
roart-etr instead of toart-t; e is also often added or omitted according 
to the choice of different -writers.

VERBS IRREGULAR IN THE PRESENT SINGULAR INDICATIVE. 

1. In the third person singular of several verbs, the root 
vowel e is changed to t or ie, while in that of some others a, 
and u, take the Umlaut (L. 47. 6. and § 78, p. 346) : 



id) fcredae, I break ; 

<Ste Bred) en, you break ; 

er fcridjt (not Brecfrt), he breaks ; 



id) felje, I see ; 

©te fel)en, you see; 

er |'iel)t (not fetyt), he sees. 



GENDER OF NOUNS. 

2. In German some names of inanimate objects are called 
masculine, and some feminine;* while some names of animate 
objects are called neuter : 

Masculine. Feminine. Neuter. 

£cr SMnter, the winter ; %)u Sittte, the ink ; £a3 $tnb, the child. 

* This is true of nearly all languages. Many words, however, though 
denoting the same objects, are regarded in different languages as being 
of different genders. Thus, for brig, the French, brie is masculine, while 
the German, Srigg is feminine. For head, the German $opf, is mascu- 
line, the French, tete is feminine, and the Latin, caput is neuter.

CASES. 

1. There are in German four cases ; namely, the 
Nominative, which answers to our nominative ; the 
Genitive, which answers mainly to our possessive ; the 
Dative, for which we have no exact equivalent ; and the 
Accusative, which answers to the English objective. 

The dative denotes the object for cr in relation to which an action 
is performed, and is usually rendered by our objective governed by a 
preposition. 

DECLENSION OF NOUNS. 

2. Nouns have two forms of declension, called the old and 
the new. 

3. Nouns of the old declension that end in e, el, en, er, djen 
and lent, form the genitive by adding $ ; the dative and accusa- 
tive remaining like the nominative. 

4. OLD DECLENSION OF NOUNS, MASCULINE AND NEUTER, 
WITH THE DEFINITE ARTICLE. 



N. frcr SDMer, the painter; 

G. ted SSMerS, the pa' ^r's ; 

D. fcem SJcaler, to thv V-ier: 

A. ten Scaler, the painter. 



t>a3 (Slfen, the iron; 

fceS (EtfenS, of the iron (L. 9) ;

VERBS WITH THE DATIVE AND ACCUSATIVE. 

5 When the dative and accusative are both governed by 
the same verb, the dative comes first ; except that the accusative, 
if it be a personal pronoun, precedes the dative.

DATIVE WITH PREPOSITIONS. 

1. The dative is often preceded by prepositions, and then 
answers to our objective : 

(5r fommt au8 bem £aufe» He is coming out of the house. 

£>er SKamt ijl in bem £aufe. The man is in the house. 

£>a$ ^tttb fpiett nut bem £unbe» The child is playing with the dog. 

£>er SSxxum. jlefyt ijor bm £aufe. The tree stands before the house. 

DATIVE WITH VERBS OF MOTION. 

2. After verbs denoting direction toward, 3 u must be placed 
before the name of a, person, and nctd), before the name of a 
place or country ; gu and nacfy being both rendered by to : 

Sr gefjt iu bem 5lmtmamt (§ 13. 3)» He goes to the magistrate. 
(£r ge§t nctd) bem £>orfe» He goes to the village. 

3. Where in English the preposition may be omitted, it ia 

not usually employed in German : 

L^ -v. c o„ ^ r j I send the teacher the book. 

3<* foidfe bem Setter ba$ 33ud). j j gend the book to the teacher>

£>ct3 $inb fjet)t ju bem ©djnciber. The child goes to the tailor. 

4. Of, when denoting relation (instead of possession L. 9. 1.), 
must be expressed in German by a'corresponding preposition , 
3d) fpredje son bem QJctrtner, I am speaking of the gaidener. 

(not, id) fpredje be3 ©artncr£). (Compare Lesson 9. 1.)

LESSON XII. Section XtL 

INDEFINITE ARTICLE, 

1. The form of the indefinite article is less varied than that 
c f the definite ; having for its accusative masculine only, a chap 
acteristic ending : 

Norn, masculine, etn, a ; JSTom. neuter, eht, a. 
Ace. masculine, eitt-en, a ; Ace. neuter, tin, a. 



POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS LESSON XII. 39 

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. 

2. The possessive pronouns constitute in German a distinct 
class of words, answering in signification to the possessive case 
of our personal pronouns. Like the article, they are subject 
to inflection, and agree in gender, number and case with their 
nouns : 

3$ ffabt mcut3)a)jicnmb ntehtenSSatf. I have my paper and my ball.

Hefer, L. X. 4.) add by inflection, except in the nom. and ace. 
neuter, another syllable to the form of the nominative :

LESSON XIV. Cation XIV. 

ADJECTIVES. 

1. Adjectives when used predicatively* undergo no change 
of form ; thus, 

Masc. £)er ©tct^l ifl gut. The steel is good. 

Neut. ©a$ ©ifen ift gut. The iron is good. 

ATTRIBUTIVE ADJECTIVES. 

2. Adjectives, when used attributively* are subject to three 
modes of inflection, called the old, the new and the mixed de- 
clensions. 

3. Adjectives, when not immediately preceded by btefer, eitt, 
or some other word of that class (L. X. 4. and L. XII. 4.) are 
inflected according to the 

OLD DECLENSION. 

Masculine. Neuter. Masc. Neut. 

N. gut— er, gut-e3, good; (N. ttef-er, bief-e3.) 

G. gut-e3 (en),gut-e3(en),of good; (G. Mef-eS fctef-eS.) 

D. gut-em, gut-cm, to or for good; (D. bief-em, bicf-cm.) 

A. gut-en, gut-e3, good. (A. bief-en, btef-e$.) 

* The terms predicative and attributive, which in grammar have a 
strictly conventional sense, should, by the pupil of German especially, 
be fuliy understood. Thus in the sentence, £art-er <5tat)I ift gut, hard 
steel is good ; hard is regarded as a known attribute of the steel, while 
good is that which is predicated or affirmed of it. Hence hard is attrib- 
utive, and good predicative. 



ATTRIBUTIVE AND PREDICATIVE FORMS OF THE A.DJECTIVE. 45 

4. The adjective, like the article, must agree with its noun. 

5. The genitive of the old form is now seldom used ; that of 
the new being preferred : 

7)k %axlt guten (instead of gttte$) The color of good gold is yellow. 
©olbeS ifi gclfc. 

ATTRIBUTIVE AND PREDICATIVE FORMS OF THE ADJECTIVE. 

Attributive. Predicative. 

£art-cr ©ta$I ifi nufclidj. ITard steel is useful. 

£art-e3 (Eifen ijl niifcltd). Hard iron is useful. 

3?u$tid)-er <Sta$t ijl $art. Useful steel is hard. 

9?uj?Iid)-e3 (Eifen ijl tyart. Useful iron is hard. 

6. Adjectives preceded by ttloat, WCtS and nt^ty, and used 
substantively, are of the old declension, and written with a 
capital initial : 

§aben ©ic eitoa$ 9?euet Have you any thing new? 

Sic fprcd)cn son ttioaQ IMeaenu You speak of something new ? 

(Er fagt nid)t$ ©d)Ied)te$. He says nothing bad. 

T. An adjective, when referring to a noun understood, has 
the same ending as when the noun is expressed : 

(£r Jjat feineS £ud), id) f)ak gro^eS. He has fine cloth, I have coarse, 
barter ©ta§l ifi gut, tt>eid)er ijl fd)led)t. Hard steel is good, soft is bad. 

Give the gender of the nouns in the following examples, as 
indicated by the adjective. State also which adjectives are 
attributive, and which predicative. 

33 e if): tele. Examples. 

SBeidjet <St<u)T ijl nid)t gut. Soft steel is not good. 

Q5ute3 SBIei ijl wetd). Good lead is soft.

LESSON XVI. £ection XVI. 

MIXED DECLENSION OF ADJECTIVES. 

1. Adjectives, when following mem, or a word of that class,* 
and referring to the same noun, are of the 

MIXED DECLENSION. 

Masc. Neut. 

N. mem gut-er, mem gut— ed, my good ; 
G. meitteS gut-en, memeS gut-en, of my good; 
D. meiuem gut-en, meiuem gut-en, to or for my good ; 
A. mcinen gut-en, mem gut-e3, my good. 

2. As mein, bem, etc., have the same form for each gender 
{». e. in nom. masc. and neut.) the adjective following them 
takes the characteristic ending (L. X. 4.), thus indicating the 
gender of its noun : 

° Namely: bem, eut, fein, u)r, unfer, euer and feinj (L XII 4. § 32. 
§33). 



M.IXED DECLENSION OF ADJECTIVES. 51 

Sin att-cr Stfaim, an old man. Sin att-eS $ferb, an old horse. 

5J?ein nen-cr SHfdj, my new table. <Sein neu-e3 23ud), his new bcok. 
3$r eigen-cr £ut, your own hat. itnfer etgen-ev &au$, our own house. 

3. Gii] en, as denoting possession, often requires with " own," 
in translation, both a preposition and a pronoun, and sometimes 
only the latter : 

fatten @ie cm eigeneS .Simmer? Have you a room of your own! 

3$ 6a(>e fetn cigeneS ©elb. I have no money of my own. 

&at cr ntd)t3 StgeneS ? Has he nothing of his own ? 

3d) fcfyriefc eg mit eigcncr £anb. I wrote it with my own hand. 

(Sr fd)viefc e3 mit eigener £anb. . He wrote it with his own hand. 



ENDINGS OF THE MIXED DECLENSION NOMINATIVE. 



A good man is honest. 
A good child is honest. 
His honest friend is good. 
His honest child is good. 
My beautiful bird is white. 
My beautiful cloth is whit* 
Your old tree is large. 
Your old house is large. 
Our large tree is old. 
Our large house is old. 
No good man is idle. 
No good child is idle. 

4. Sin is also a numeral answering to one, and is then pro- 
nounced with a stronger emphasis, and often written with a 
capital initial : 

3d) r)cu>enur (SinSBud), unb er fyatbret. I have but one book, and he haa 

three. 
Cr Iernt mefr in Stnem Sage aU id) He learns more in one day than I 
in jroei. (do L. 38. 7.) in two. 

5. (Etrt and fetn, when not followed by an adjective or a noun, 
are infleoted according to the old declension (L. XIV. 3.). In 
thenom. andacc.neut. the e of the final syllable is often omitted : 

©ic tyaften jroet $ferbe, id) Ijak eineS You have two horses, I have one, 
(or ein$),unter§at feme? (orfein§). and he has none.

LESSON XXI. £ection XXI. 

NEGATIVE CONJUGATION. 

1. All verbs, in the present and imperfect, in negative sen- 
tences, are employed, like to have and to be, in English, with- 
out an auxiliary : 

(£r if} ntdjt f)ier. He is not here. 

(Er recent ntdjt f)ter. He does not live here. (He lives not here.) 

(Er fjat e§ ntdjt. He has it not. 

(£r fauft eS ntdjt. He does not buy it. (He buys it not.) 

position of 9Md)t. 

2. In simple sentences ntdjt follows the object of the vei 6 
to which it refers. When, however, that which is in one clause 
denied, is in another affirmed of a different object, ni^t precedes 
the object : 

3d) fjak ben £ut ntd)t. I have not the hat (the hat not) 

(Sr lofct feiitftt ©cfjn ntd)t. He does not praise his son. 

3d) $ak ben auten S3leifttft, after ntdjt I have the good pencil, but not the 

baa papier. paper. 

3d) tjafce ntdjt ben SBtetfttft, fonbern ba$ I have not the pencil, but the paper. 

3>aftier. 




NEGATIVE CONJUGATION. 65 

8. In interrogative sentences, mct;t frequently precedes the 
object of the verb : 
#akn <Sie ntdjt ben SBteijHft ? Have you not the pencil? 

4. (Soncettt occurs only after a negative, of which it intro- 
duces the opposite; while 

2tkr is less strongly adversative ; often merely marking 
something additional, and may follow either an affirmation or 
negation : 

(£r ijt nidjt reidj fonbern arm. He is not rich but poor. 

Sr Ifl ntd£)t reid) a'&er jtolj. He is not rich but proud. 

Sr ijt freigeMg after md)t reid). He is generous»but not rich. 

(£r ijt ntct)t nur reid) fonbern audj fret' He is not only rich but also gen- 

gebig. erous. 

£>a$ SKeffer ijt ntct)t frfjarf fonbern The knife is not sharp but dull. 

jtumpf. 

5. Sfttdjt ttdjr ? not true % (is it not true % like the French 
rCest-ce pas?) answers to our various interrogative phrases 
after an assertion : 

©ie f enncn i$tt, \ You know him, do you not ? 

(£r ifl Sljr ©ruber, J He is your brother, is he not? 

©te roirb gefjen, / She will go, will she not? 

(£r $at e$ gefya'bt, \ ntdt)t roafyr ? He has had it, has n't he ? 

SStr fonnen fyorcn, V "We can hear, can we not? 

©ie jtnb reid), J They are rich, are they not? 

©ie ftnb ntdjt reidj, / They are not rich, are they ? 

6. Stidjt toafyv sometimes precedes the assertion ; and, occa- 
sionally, the latter word is not expressed : 

9ctd)t watyr, er ifl fetyr reidj? He is very rich, is he not? 

©ie fennen ben Sflann, nidjt? You know the man, do you not? 

(Er ijt nod) Ijter, nidjt ? He is still here, is he not ? 

7. 9U$t, when used with nod) (yet), should follow it; as should 
also, fetn, immer, and other words similarly employed : 

Sr ifl nod) ntcr)t r)ier* He is not yet here. (He is yet nothere.) 

Sr toax nod) nie franf. He was never yet sick. (He was yet never 

sick.) 
$at er nod) ffin 23udj ? Has he no book yet ? (Has he yet no book?)

LESSON XXL. Cation XXII 

NOUNS OF THE NEW DECLENSION. 

1. Nouns of the new declension ending in unaccented at, t t 
er, ef, form all their oblique cases by adding n (for fern, sing., 
however, see L. XXIII. 4) : 

N. ter Ungar, ter Sfteffe, ter 23ater, 

G. fce3 Ungar-n, te3 9tcffe-n, te£ 23ater-n, 
D. tent Ungar-n, tern 9ftcjfe--n, tent 23ater-n, 
A. ben Ungar-n, ben Sfteffe-n, ten 23ater-n* 



68 LESSON XXII. 

2. Nouns of this declension not ending in at, etc., as above, 
form the oblique cases by adding en: 

N. ber ®rctf, ber <Sofoat, ber £etb, 

G. be3 ®raf-en, bes @olt>at-en, beg £eft>-en, 

D. bem ©raf-en, bem ©olDat-en, bem £eft)-en, 

A. ben ©raf-en, ben ©ofoat-en, ben §ef>-etu 

3. When an adjective or a participle is used substantively, 
it still follows the declension of its original word : 

©iefer £>eutfdje ifl eitt ©efanb'ter. This German is an embassador. 

IDiefer ©cfanbt'e ifl ein ©eutfdjer. This embassador is a German. 

4. To the new declension belong most names of males end- 
ing in e, many names of nations, as also various foreign nouns 
(§18): 



£>er 2oroe, the lion ; 
£>er £afe, the hare; 
£>er SBftier, the Bavarian; 



£>er Dd)§ (or,D<$fe), the ox; 
£>er Sfbsoc'at/ the advocate; 
£>er tfngar, the Hungarian. 



5. To ascertain to which of the two declensions a noun be- 
longs, the pupil has only to observe the endings of the genitive, 
as giv^n in the vocabularies ; eS (or s) denoting the old declen- 
sion, and n (or en) the new; thus, 

2)er STjfe, -n, the ape; 
£>cr SGBotf, -c$, the wolf; 
2)er &elb, -en, the hero : 



£)er Sfluf, -e3, the call; 
£>er S3aiet/ -n, the Bavarian ; 



2)er Raft, -3, the cheese; 

£)er 33dr, -en, the bear;

FEMININE GENDER. 
1. DECLENSION OF £) \ t , ( £)\t\t AND ^CtttC. 

Feminine. 
N Me, the; btef-e, this; mein-e, my; 

G. tier, of the ; btef-er, of this ; meirt-er, of my ; 

D. ber, to or for the; bief-er, to or fortius; meitt-er, to or for my; 
A. bie, the; btef-e, this; mein-e, my. 

The article, definite and indefinite, as also, the adjective pro- 
nouns (which in the other genders have different endings, and 
are differently declined), here all end in e, and are inflected 
alike; namely, 

bief-e, bie, aft-e, eintg-e, etttdj-e, jet>-e, man&)-t, fold)-e, tt>etd)-e; 
as also, 

mein-e, eln-e, bein-e, etter-e, i^r-e, fein-e, unfei-e, fetn-e, (com- 
pare L. X. 4. and L. XII. 4). 

DECLENSION OF ADJECTIVES IN THE FEMININE GENDER. 

2. Feminine adjectives, unless they follow bie, eine, or soma 
word of the above list, and refer to the same noun, are of tho 

OLD DECLENSION. 

N gut-e, good; (btef— e, meirt-e, ein-e. ) 

G. gut-er, of good; (fcief-er, mein-er, ein-er.) 

t). gnt-er, to or for good ; (fctef-er, metn-er, ein-er.) 

A. gut-e, good; (bief-e, metn-e, etn-e. ) 



DECLENSION OF FEMININE NOUNS. Tl 

3. Feminine adjectives, when they follow btefe, Me, ntcm#e, 
mctne, or any word of that list, and refer to the same noun, 
are of the 

NEW DECLENSION. 



N. tie gute, the good; 

G. ter guten, of the good; 

D. ter guten, to, for the good ; 

A. tie gute, the good ; 



metne gute, my good; 
meiner guten, of my good; 
tneiner guten, to, for my good ; 
meine gute, my good. 



Obs. As bief-c, mein-e, etc. (feminine), equally denote the gender of 
the noun, the mixed declension, in the feminine, is not required; hence 
we have here hut two declensions of the adjective, the old and the new. 

DECLENSION OF FEMININE NOUNS. 

4. Feminine nouns, except proper names, are, in the singular, 
indeclinable : * 

3d) x)afce bie $eber meiner ^flutter. I have the pen of my mother. 

(£r ift ber ©ol)n btefer alien ©ante. He is the son of that old lady.

5. Appellations of females are formed from those of males 
by means of the suffix in (or inn) : 

ber ©d)nciber, the tailor; bie ©dmeiberin, the tailoress; 

ber Srexinb, the friend; bie $reunbin, the (female) friend; 

ber SnglctJlber, the Englishman; bie (Sngld'nberin, the Englishwoman 

ber ©driller, the scholar; bie ©djixtcrin, the female scholar; 

ber ©enta'ljli the consort (husband) ; bie ©ema'fjtitt, the consort (wife); 

btr Solve, the lion ; bie Soroxn, the lioness. 

6. Appellations of women, formed from titles of men, may 

* It may be observed, however, that in poetry and certain ph rases 
the endings of the new declension (in which the feminine noun was 
formerly declined) are still sometimes found in the genitive and dative:

LESSON XXIV. Uttion XXIV. 

FORMATION AND GENDER OF DIMINUTIVES. 

1. The syllables d)ert and fetn,* suffixed to nouns, give rise 
to a large class of words, called diminutives. These diminu- 
tives are always of the neuter gender, and their radical vowel, 
if capable of it, takes the Umlaut : 

bad Sammcfyen, the lambkin (little lamb) 
bad (SbfyndjeU; the (dear) little son ; 
bad ^litjjjdjen, the rivulet (little river); 
bad £ugeld)en, the hillock (little hill) ; 
bad S3Htmd;ert, (or Slumlein) the floweret. 

2. The diminutives are also used as terms of endearment, 
or to indicate familiarity ; and are often employed where in 
English no idea of diminutiveness would be expressed : 

"£)enn SBritberd)en unb <5d)tt>ej"terd)ert For brother dear and sister dear 
bie fommen oft ju mix," (they) often come to me. 

Qad 2)ijgelrf)eit (or SSogtem) ffnat etrr The little bird sings a gladsome 
fro$e$ £tebc§ett. (little) song. 

3. The words ftjraulein and 9ftM)cn though regularly formed, 
as diminutives, have lost their strictly diminutive signification. 
Svauleilt signifies a young (unmarried) lady; and also serves 
is a title of address : answering to Miss. -Sftctodjett is rendered 
by girl, or maiden ; Sftagb, from which it is derived, being 
now employed chiefly in the signification of servant : 

grdirtetn 9£. tft eine greunbitt btefe£ Miss K is a friend of this girL 

3JMb<$en3. 

■Bolcdb bad SJMbdjen 3l&fd)teb ncttym, As soon as the maiden took leave, 

IU f. ». — @* etc. 

■SDiefeS 2ftab$en fpiclt mit fcinem SBrii* This girl is playing with her little 

berdjen. brother. 



Other forms, chiefly provincial or vulgar, and confined mostly to 
conversation, which sometimes perplex the learner, are e I, It, eldjcn; aa 
"M>et,"for3JMbd)en; "SBud)etd)etV' forS5M)Ietn; "^Dp/'for^fpein; etc. 



FORMATION OF COMPOUND NOUNS. 



75 



FORMATION OF COMPOUND NOUNS. 
NOUNS WITH NOUNS. 

4 In German two or more nouns are often united in one 
word, where the English equivalents are joined by a hyihen, 
or several separate words are used : 



fhtjUHcr, draught-animal , 

£ajtt§tev, beast of burden ; 

rtftettbe, malicious pleasure; 
§}re£frei$eitf freedom of the press; 
Oiubntbeaterbc, ambition, thirst of fame: 
Crbmmge-Itete, love of order ; 
3dv;funacfcr, shoemaker; 
£ar.brccrf, avocation; trade; 



(3ug, draught; £I)ter, beast) 
(2a|T, burden; Sfjier, beast.) 
(Sdube, injury; ftveube, joy.) 
(yrei^cit, freedom; $Preffe, press.) 
(3fat§m, fame; 23t\jierbe, desire.) 
(Crbmmg, order; Stebe, love.) 
(Sdutf), shoe ; SMacfier, maker.) 
($anb f hand; SBetf# work.) 



€>$K$nta$er$anbtt>eTfj shoemaker's trade or calling. 

5. The first noun is sometimes put in the plural : 

JHeil>erf$ranfj clothes-press; (5Uetber, clothes; ©<fcranf, case, press.) 

53iiu>erfcrrattf, book-case; (5M'toVr, books.) 

SSorterfrud?, dictionary; (SBorter, words; Sud), book.) 

NOUNS WITH PREPOSITIONS, PRONOUNS. VERBS, ETC. 

6. Compound nouns are also formed by uniting several parts 
of speech : 

9ui3trca, egress; (aui, out of; SBeo., way.) 

Siivrccrt, pronoun; (gitr, for ; SBfl it, word.) 

fellow-scholar; (nut, with; 3iuiter, scholar.) 
Sdn-cihv.vier, writing-paper; (fdueikrt, to write; 9)a^ier, paper ) 
itaufaiamt, merchant; (faufert, to buy; Sflamt, man.) 

©torctlfrieb, agitator; (floren, to disturb; ^riebe, peace.) 

E>pringui3fclb, romp; fly-about; (fpringen, spring; in, into; %db, field.) 
good-for-nothing; (tauten, to be fit for; iridic, nothing.) 
SergifptteW' the forget-me-not ; (serge [fen, to forget; ineitt (L. 28. 2.), 
m$t f and nidjt, not.) 



NOUNS WITH ADJECTIVES. 

7. Nouns are sometimes formed by uniting adjectives (unde- 
clined) with nouns : 

ber ^aucrHcc, the sheep's sorrel ; (falter, sour; $Iee, clover.) 

ber $nmratftab, the crosier; (frumm, crooked; (Stab, staff.) 

bag SBrtpbrob, the white bread ; (»cip# white; ©rob, bread.) 



76 



LESSON XXIV. 



COMPOUND ADJECTIVES. 



8. Compound adjectives are formed by uniting two adjec- 
tives, or a noun and an adjective : 

©unfelgriirt, dark green; (btmfet, dark; grim, green.) 

0iabenfit)t»arj, black as a raven; (9ta&e, raven; fil)ft>ar,$, black.) 

Ce&enSfatt, tired of life; (CeBert, life; fatr, satiated.) 

SBctffenfafyig, capable of bearing arms; (2Baffert, arms; fcif;tg, capable.) 
SBunberfrf)ort, extremely beautiful; (Sffiunber, miracle; fc()on, beautiful.) 

9. Nouns, instead of being written as one word, are some- 
times separated by a hyphen : 

©o flarf aU ©otteS <3unben*£a§ As strong as God's hatred of sin, is 

3ft feine ©iinber=£iek. — £♦ his love for sinners. 

10. The latter member of a compound may refer to words 
preceding those with which it is united ; the first word being 
followed by a hyphen : 

£)er ©tiefel* unb ©d)ufjmad)er* The boot and shoemaker. 

Srcft* unb plfSkburftig. Needing consolation and help. 

GENDER OF COMPOUND NOUNS. 

11. The first word of the compound takes the accent, while 
the latter usually determines the gender : 

(£ttt SBumteitgartert, A flower-garden. 

(Sine ©CtrtenBlume, A garden-flower. 

12. Proper names of places, formed by suffixing the mascu- 
line noun 23erg, or the feminine 53urg, to other words, are, like 
all proper names of places, neuter • 

£>a$ ftarf fcefefttgte Sftagbdmrg. The strongly-fortified Magdeburg. 

13. The word Sftutfj is masculine; the words £emut§, ©rojj^ 
ttiuttj, £attgmuttj, @anftmut$, <Sd)ttermutt) are feminine. 3:1) eil 
is masculine; ©egentfyeil, £tnter£betf and $ort>ertljetf are neuter. 
(Scfyeu is feminine; 2t6fdjeu is masculine.

PLAN OF COMPOSING GERMAN. 79 

LESSON XXV. faction XXV. 

PLAN OF COMPOSING GERMAN. 

Hitherto the attention of the learner has been mainly direct- 
ed to such forms and rules of declension and construction as 
were necessary to the translation of the several exercises. He 
may now proceed to the more advanced work of composing 
sentences in German. Having clearly before him the thought 
which he proposes to express, let him endeavor, in accoidan^o 
with the rules and examples previously studied, to give it a 
proper German dress. In this process, under the constant, 
guidance of his model sentences in German, he wn'll readily 
acquire the habit of thinking in that language, and so avoid 
the common and natural error of turning English modes of 
thought and expression into merely literal German. 

Moreover, when favored with peculiar opportunities for speak 
ing the language, the pupil might here introduce into the pro- 
posed sentences one or more of the additional tenses ; or, 
change to some other tense any verb found in the regular Ex- 
ercises (See Lessons XXXVI., XXXVIL, XXXVIII.). Thus, 
for example, in Exercise 46., 1, for the present tense ; as in, 

"Dtcfe GMbfdjmicbe Ijakn golbene, ftlfceme unb |rdt;Xcrne SRtngc," 
the pupil may be required to substitute the imperfect ; as, 
£>iefe ©olbfcfymkbe fatten golbene, ftlftcrne unb jtd^lcvne SMnge; 
or, the perfect ; as, 

SDieft ©olbfdjmtcbe I)al>en golbeue, ftlkvne unb ftafrlerne SUnge (je^aM, 
or, the pluperfect ; as, 

2)iefc ©olbfdjmtebe fatten golbene, ftlbevne unb [ia^Iernc Swinge g e $ a & t , 
or, the first future ; as, 

SDiefe ©oibfdjmtebe tr> er b en golbene, ftlkrne unb [iaf/lerne 9Ringe ^ a tu n 

For an additional stock of words, with further statement and 
exemplification of the plan, see page 449. 

It has been deemed better to refer this class of learners, as 
above, than to sacrifice the progressive plan of the work, by 
introducing those Lessons at an earlier period.

84 LESSON XXVI. 



LESSON XXVI. Cectiou XXVI. 

IRREGULAR PLURAL OF KOUNS. 

1. As exceptions to Rules 4 and 5, Lesson, XXV., are tne 
neuter nouns, bctS glofj, the raft ; baS Softer, the convent ; and 
fcftS d\ol)Vf the reed, all of which take, in the plural, the Um- 
laut; as, bie %U$t, tie Softer, Me 3ti3t)re. £a$ S3oot, the boat, 
has either the regular form tie 23oote, or 23ote. 

2. There are also several neuter nouns which contain two 
variations from Rule 5, Lesson XXV., in that they add in the 
plural er, and take the Umlaut, if capable of it ; as, ba» £>orf, 
the village, plural, Me 2)orf-er; ba3 £tet>, the song, plural, Me 
Sieber, etc. ; see § 13. 5. Exceptions, b. 

3. A few masculine nouns contain one exception to Rule 1, 
Lesson XXV. ; namely, they add er, instead of e ; as, t>er £>om, 
the thorn, plural, tie 'Eont-er, etc.; § 13. 6. Exceptions, a. 

4. All nouns ending in tftum, whether neuter or masculine, 
form their plural by adding er, and taking the Umlaut : 

Sag 33Utljinn, the bishopric ;. plural, Me S8t?tr)umer* 
£>er 3rrtt)vnrt, the error; plural, Me 3rrtr)ihner, etc 

5. The plural of 9Jc arm in several compound words is Scute 
instead of banner: 

£>er SSergmarm, the miner; Me Sergleute, the miners; 

2>er ilaufmanrt, the merchant; Me ^aufleute, the merchants; 

£>er Stnunermann, the carpenter ; Me Simmerleute, the carpenters. 

Give in this manner the plural of 2lmtmcmu, 2lrfcett3mamt, 
grelmamt, Satttmatm, SanfcSmann, ©pietmamu 

6. Scute and Soil are both rendered by people ; the latter 
in the most extended, the former in a limited sense. The plu- 
ral of SSoXI is usually equivalent to nations : 

£>tefe Seute ftnb Demfdje. These people are Germans. 

2>ic 2>evUfd)crt ftnb ein fletjHgeS 2>oIf. The Germans are an industriots 

people.

if arm. people are (is) poor. 

£)te ijerfdjie'benert hotter (5uro£ct£. The various nations of Europe. 



IRREGULAR ILURAL OF NOUNS. 85 

7. Several masculine nouns form an exception to Rule 6, 
Lesson XXV., in that they take the Umlaut ; as plural, Slepfel, 
instead of 2lpfcl; £ammel, instead of £ammel. For entire list 
see§ 13. 4. Exceptions. 

8. The feminine nouns Gutter and Sodjter form their plural 
by taking the Umlaut : 

©ute fitter unterridjten u)re Softer. Good mothers instruct their daugh 

ters. 

9. The masculine nouns % at, 2trm, etc. § 13. 6. Exceptions, b. 
omit the Umlaut ; thus forming an exception to Rule 7, Lesson 
XXV. 

10. In German the singular is employed to denote some ob- 
jects, which require in English the plural form (§ 15) : 

2)ie @d)eere ijl rojrig, bie 2id)tpufce if* The shears are rusty, the snuffers 

blanf. are bright. 

©r faufte eine S3ruTe unb eine 3ange. He bought a pair of spectacles and

88 LESSON XXVII. 

SECOND PERSON SINGULAR. 

2. The pronoun of the second person singular is employed, 
as in English, in addressing the Supreme Being ; in proverbial 
phrases, and in serious and sublime styles of composition. It 
is likewise used in addressing relatives, intimate friends and 
children ; as, also, servants and other dependents : 

£>ein 8fai<$ fomme. , Thy kingdom come. 

Xraue feirtem greunbe, ttenn bu tfjtt Trust no friend if thou hast not 

ni<$t gepruft' $aji.— $. tested him. 

(Erfl rant bu faen, First thou must sow, 

£>ann fannft bu ma^en. Then thou canst mow. 

SBaS tjaft bu ge^ort' ? What have you heard ? 

Solemn, bein fi^rcr UU bid) ntdjt. John » y° ur teacher does not praise 

you. 

SECOND PERSON PLURAL. 

3. The second person plural * denotes, mainly, in this num- 
ber, the same class as that to which bit is applied in the singu- 
lar. It is employed in addressing religious assemblies : 

SBcmn terrtet U)r euere Secttonen? When do you learn your lessons? 

Winter, euer Sefyrer lo&t cud) nidjt. Children, your teacher does not 

praise you. 

Obs. — Formerly (as at present in French and English), the prevailing 
form, as being the more polite and respectful, was that of the second, 
instead of the third person plural, and in some portions of Germany, 
among the peasantry, its use is still retained. Usually, however, when 
addressed to a single individual, it implies his inferiority of position : 
2)ct3 glaufct u)r ttml'Ud) ? fa$te ber Do you really believe that ? said 

^onig. the king. 

THIRD PERSON SINGULAR. 

4. The pronouns of the third person singular are sometimes 
used as the second, and indicate the inferior position of the 
person addressed : 

<£r if! etn glucfltdjet Sftenfd). You are (he is) a happy man. 



e This form is still retained in the syllable (Ew. (contraction of (£tt>er, 
an obsolete orthography of euer), which is now used only with titles, 
and is followed by a plural verb : 
<E». (eure) 3Jtoiej!ttt jtnb »i*t toifctger Your majesty is (are) much more 

aU id). witty than I. 



DECLENSION OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 



89 



THIRD TERSON PLURAL. 

5. In ordinary address, the form of the third person plural 
oi the pronoun is applied, as well to one, as to more individuals ; 
hence, when spoken, the person and number intended must be 
inferred from the context, or the manner of the speaker. 

In writing, however, (Bit and 3^, except at the beginning 
of a sentence, are made to designate the second person by- 
means of capital initials (§ 57).

LESSON XXVIII. Ccctiou XXVI11. 

PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 

1. The genitive of the personal pronouns does not (like tha* 
of nouns, L. IX. 1) indicate possession, but simply answers 
tc our objective with (and sometimes without) a preposition : 

Gd (tub unfer ttier. There are four of us (of us four). 

Senjt^' meincr nid)U Forget me not. 

©ao ift beiner nnwiirbig* That is unworthy of thee (of thee 

unworthy). 

2. The genitive of the first and second persons sing, of the 
personal pronouns, is often contracted to the form of the nomi- 
native masculine and neuter of the jiossessive. The genitives of 
the other pronouns are sometimes similarly abbreviated : 

3d) benfe betn (-er) ttenn ber (Sonne I think of thee when the glimmer 

<3d)tmmer »om Sffteere jlrafylt. — ©, of the sun beams from the sea. 
SSergijji' me in {for tneiner) md)t. Forget me not (see 1). 

©ebenf'e fein {for fctner). Remember (think of) him. 

3. The dative with tton is employed in rendering our pos 
sessive with of when used partitively : 

(£r i|t ein $reunb tt o n mtr» He is a friend of mine (of me). 

Bit finb Sertocmb'te » o n un§« They are relatives of ours (of us). 

4. Pronouns referring to neuter appellations of persons, 
generally follow the natural, rather than the grammatical, gen- 
der (§ 6, 2) : 

<Sein <So(mdjen ift frctitf, id) fiird)te er His little son is sick ; I fear he will 

{or eS) nurb fterkn. die. 

t>a3 Sttabdjen Ijat i$r (fein) SSudj* The girl has her book. 

5. Pronouns representing inanimate objects must be of the 
same gender as the nouns to which they refer ; hence our neuter 



92 LESSON XXVIII. 

pronoun must often be expressed in German by the masculine, 
or feminine : 

Der £ut tft fd)5n, after c r tfl flein. The hat is fine, but it is small. 
Die 3ftu|e ifi fdjon, after ft e ifl flein* The cap is fine, but it is small. 
3$ Ijafte ben £ut nicfyt, fie $at i fyn. I have not the hat, she has it. 
Ste $ctt bie 2D?ul?e md)t, er fyat fie. She has not the cap, he has it. 

6. In German a pronominal adverb (applied to things) an- 
swer to a preposition and a pronoun, as commonly employed 
in English : 

Set) fyafte einen Dfen, after fern $euer I have a stove, but no fire in it 

b a r i n (not in tfjm) ♦ (therein). 

(Er fdmetbet feinen 5tpfel nnb giftt mix He cuts his apple and gives me a 

ettt <&tM b a S> n {not son tfjm). part of it (thereof). 

£r |at itjrc Seber unb fc^rei^t bam it. He has her pen and writes with it 

(therewith). 

1. The neuter pronoun, eS, employed as a grammatical sub- 
ject, may represent nouns of all genders, and in both numbers. 
The verb, however, must agree in number with the noun % while 
in English it agrees with the pronoun : 

SBerifteS? Who is it? 

(E 3 i ft ein $r ember. It is a stranger. 

(E$ finb unfere atten greunbe ^el^e It is (are) our old friends that wo 

ttrir fef)en. see. 

<S i n b e 6 "Sterne ! Is it stars ? (are they stars ?) 

8. When the logical subject is itself a personal pronoun, ed 
follows the verb ; this being exactly the reverse of the English 
construction : 

3 $ Bin e 3. It is 7. <£r if! e 3. It is he. 

StnbSieeS? Isit you? Seib i$r e3? Is it youl 

Stnb fie e 3 ? is it they? 2Bt r finb e 3. 7(5 is we. 

9. (S 3 before a verb followed by its subject, frequently an 
swers to there, but is often used for the sake of emphasis, where 
in our language a like construction is not admissible : 

(E$ if! niemanb tm (L. 20. 4^ $aufe. There is nobody in the house. 

(E$ finb brei 93M)er ba. There are three books there. 

(E 3 jtefyt ein flitter (Engef . There moves a quiet angel. 

(E 3 pallet ber Conner fo laut (instead There resounds the thunder so loud 

o/ber ©onner pallet fo laut). (The thunder resounds so loud). 

£$ Ieud)tet bie Sonne iifter SBof 1 unb The sun shines upon (the) bad and 

©ute (bie Sonne leudjtet, k.).— ©♦ (the) good. 



PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 93 

10. (5 3 sometimes refers to a previously expressed noun, or 
adjective, and may be rendered one or so; e$ is likewise some- 
times so used as not to require translation : 

Gr if! ©djmteb, abcr id) Mn e$ nidjt* He is (a) smith, but I am not one. 

Slur finb ntd)t aKe cjleid> unb fonucit e3 "We are not all alike and can not 

man fan. — ®. be so. 

3d) tteip e S ba£ er ge$t. I know (it) that he is going. 

11. When pronouns of several different persons are the sub- 
jects of a plural verb, the first person is preferred to the second, 
and the second to the third ; often, however, the plural of the 
pronoun is employed after others which are in the singular : 

©u unb ber itnafce fa§eu e3. You and the boy saw it 

3d) rDcijjj nidjt n>a3 bit unb id) fafjen. I do not know what you and I saw. 

2)u unb id) roir fa&en e$. You and I (we) saw it. 

12. For the sake of additional emphasis, a pronoun is some- 
times repeated, or placed after its noun in apposition with it : 

©o ttieler ©d)roebcn eblcS Slut, e<3 The noble blood of so many Swedes 

i|t um ©otb unb ©tlfier ntd)t ge* (it) has not flowed for gold and 

floifen. — <5. silver. 

Unb btc £ugenb fte t|l feirt Ieerer And virtue (it) is no empty sound, 

[.— ©. 



13. The genitive of the personal pronouns, when referring to 
individuals, is often used before numerals (like the French en), 
in which position it seldom requires translation : 

(£r §at bret Sritbcr unb id) II a trois freres, et moi He has three brothers, 
$abe U)rer nur Stncn. je n'en ai qu'un. and I have cnly one. 

i 
23etfptele* Examples. 

(£3 tft ntd)t <uTe3 ©clb tta3 glainjt Not all is gold that glitters (see 10). 
(£$ nriberfdtyrt' Sflandjem me^r ©tyre, There happens to many a one more 

ctlS er scrbtent' honor than he deserves. 

Sir fyaben betner geroar'tet (see 1). TVe have waited for thee. 
3d) blteb meiner nid)t me$r mddjtig. I remained no longer master of 

myself. 
©arunter tetbet fctne Sigenltefce. His self-love suffers bythis (thereby). 

<£r ifl etn SSerttanbter »on unS. He is a relative of ours. 

@3 finb unfer bret, unb t^rer fitnf. There are three of us, and five of 

them.

LESSON XXIX. Uction XXIX. 

REFLEXIVE USE OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 

1. The personal pronouns of the first and second persons are 
often used reflexively ; answering to our compound personal 
pronouns in the objective case : 

3d) tofte mi dj. I praise myself. 

£u Iol>|t b i dj. Thou praisest thyself. 

3$r lobt end). You praise yourselves. 

3dj gcben'fe m e i n e r. I think of myself. 

£>;t gebenf'|t b e in c r. Thou thinkest of thyself. 

3d; uerfpredj'e mir ntdjtS. I do not promise myself any thing. 

©a3 serfyredjt' U)r eud)? What do you promise yourselves? 

2. There is in the third person a pronoun (f tdj) which is 
ased only reflexively. It is indeclinable, and occurs only in 
the dative and accusative ; answering to all our compound per- 
sonal pronouns of the third person : 

2>er 181am hit fid). The man praises himself 

£)te grau loot f i d). The woman praises herself 

DaS £inb Wbt f i d) . The child praises itself 



96 LESSON XXIX. 

Q$ fonnen fid) nur SBentge re^te'ren, There can but few govern them- 

beu Skrffanb' tterjlan'btg Qefcrau'" selves, (can) use the understanding 

djeiu — ©. understandingly. 

(5r tterfpridjf fid) etJDCtS. He promises himself something. 

9ftan fdjmetdjelt ft c^ oft. One often flatters one's self. 

©ic $tnber serfpredj'en fid) etttaS* The children promise themselves 

something. 

3d) benfe betn, roenn fid) beS SO^onbe^ I think of thee when the moon's glit- 

Slimmer in Quellen malt, — ©. ter paints itself in fountains. 

3. When our compound personal pronouns are used merely 
to give emphasis (and not reflexively) they should be rendered 
by f e U ft , or f e I B er , after the word which it is intended to 
emphasize : 

(£r ftelo'fynte ben Sealing fell) ft He rewarded the apprentice him- 

self 

(£r fell) ft fcelo'ljnte ben Settling. He himself rewarded the appren- 

tice. 

©te f e I & ft fcefudj'te bte $rctnfe* She herself visited the patient 

<£te gtng ju ber ifrcmlen f e XI fl. She went to the patient herself. 

4. (Setfcft often follows the reflexive pronouns, and may be 
rendered own, or entirely omitted in translation ; 

@te XdU ftdj fell) ft« She praises her (own) self. 

2Bir loben un3 fel&fi. "We praise our (own) selves. 

SBer fewtt ftd) fcttfl? — ©♦ "Who knows himself? (one's self.) 

5. @ e IB ft before a noun answers to the adverb even : 

(Sell) fl feme $etnbe <*d)ten i$n. Even his enemies esteem him. 

<S e I & jt feine $reunbe fallen tljn fur Even his friends consider him (hold 
fdjulbtg. him for) guilty. 

6. The reflexive pronouns, of all persons, in the plural, are 
frequently employed, where the signification is sufficiently ob- 
vious, instead of the reciprocal pronoun etnctttber : 

SBirloBen un3. (instead of) "We praise us (i. e. each other). 

SBir loten e t n a n' b e r. ~We praise one another. 

#or eurer Gutter Slug 1 jerjWrt' e u d)« Before your mother's eye destroy 

— ©. each other. 

Sir rcerben tt n 3 roieberfeljen. — ©, We shall see each other again. 

£)ie £i)ran'nen retdjen ft d) bte £anbe. The tyrants extend to each other 

— <E>» their hands (i. e. are forming a 

league). 



REFLEXIVE VERBS. 97 

7. © i fr , after a preposition, is often best rendered by a 
personal pronoun : 

©rope ©eclcn fatten f i dj an ben &\m* Great souls hold firmly to Heaven, 

mil feft unb laflcn bie Grbe mtter and let the earth roll on beneath 

ftdvfprtrollen. — X). Ihem (selves). 

<Ste fatte fein ©etb 6ct ft d\ She had no money with her. 

£at cr feme lu)r bet ftdj? Has he his -watch with him i 

8 In interrogative sentences, the personal pronoun, in the 
dative or accusative, is often placed between the verb and its 
subject (when the subject is a noun) : 

£oben i § n fetne % r e u nb e ? instead of £e$en fetne ftreunbe tl)n ? 
SSaS fagt tljm ber Scorer? " SBaS fagt ber Sctyrer U)m? 

SSie c-eftn'bet fidj Sfjr grcunb ? " Ste kfm'bet 3$r greunb ftd) ? 

REFLEXIVE VERBS. 

9. The number of verbs that are used exclusively as reflex 
ive, is much larger in German than in English : 

<Ste frcge'kn ftdj in bte $Utd)t. They betake themselves to flight, 

(Er k()ilft' ftdj nut Sitgeit. He resorts to falsehoods. 

!Der Seinb fcentadj'rigte ftd) ber ©tabt. The enemy took possession (possess- 
ed himself) of the city. 

<£r fcefmnt' ftdj ju lange. He bethinks himself too long. 

(Er freftrefct' ftd) e3 gtt tfjun. He tries (exerts himself) to doit. 

SBarum' erct'fert l$t eudj? Why are you becoming angry? 

£3 erct'gnet ftd) felten. It seldom happens. 

Gr ertio'It ftdj tangfam. He recovers (himself; slowly. 

(£r serfdl'tet ftdj fefyr Ietdjt. He takes cold very easily. 

yiafi) roent erhtn'btgt er ftd)? After whom does he inquire? 

(Er getraut' ftdj nidjt ut fpredjen. He does not dare (venture) to speak, 

©ie fdjamen ftd) tfjreS etgenen ©etra'= They are ashamed (shame theru-

SBarum' nnberfefc'enSte ftd) alien met* Why do you oppose (yourself to) 

nen flatten ? all my plans ? 

Unterfre^iV bu bid) nttr iai ju fagen? Do you venture (presume so far as) 

to tell me that? 

10. Many verbs are used reflexively whose equivalents in 
English are employed intransitively or passively : 

2Me Solb'ten fammelten ftdj urn u)rcn The soldiers assembled (themselves) 
«uyrer. around their leader. 



98 LESSON XXIX.

Remark. — By means of the appended table the pupil will 
be enabled to compare at one view the various terminations 
which have been separately given him in the preceding Lessons. 
This arrangement will both serve the purpose of a move general 
review, and at the same time be well adapted to fix in the mem- 
ory the peculiarities of the different declensions. The endings 
of the adjective, especially, in its various modes of inflection, 
as well as the words by which those endings are affected, should 
receive a patient attention.

LESSON XXXII. fcection XXXII. 

COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES. 
COMPARATIVE. 

1. Adjectives, which in the positive end in e, form their com- 
parative by adding r, those of other terminations by adding en 

Positive. Comparative. Positive. Comparative. 

iueife, wise; roeif-er, wiser; milt*, mild; mtfb-er, milder; 
fettt, fine; fctn-er, finer; treu, true; treu-er, truer; 
eitef, vain; eit-Ier, (L.XII.5.) fitjj, sweet; fitjj-er, sweeter; 
jtolj, proud ; jtotj-er, prouder ; rerB, firm; berB-er, firmer. 

SUPERLATIVE. 

2. Adjectives ending in fc, i, g, jj, fdj, t, u or 3, usually form 
the superlative by adding efi; those of other terminations 
add ft : 

Positive. Superlative. Positive. Superlative. 

imtfc, mild; mift-eft, mildest; fret, free; fret-eft, freest; 
fii§, sweet; fitfj-ejfr, sweetest; taut, loud; taut— eft, loudest; 
ftol^, proud; ftolg-eft, proudest; SerB, firm; fcerB-ft, firmest; 
Ia v m, lame ; laf)m-ft, lamest ; fteif, stiff; fteif-ft, stiffest. 

3. When the positive is a monosyllable, the root vowels a, 
0, it, generally assume the Umlaut in the other degiees (for 
executions, however, see §. 36. 5.) : 

Positive. Comparative. Superlative. 

alt, old; att-er, older; alt-eft, oldest; 

groB, coarse; grcB-er, coarser; groB— ft, coarsest; 

Hug, prudent ; flug-er, more prudent ; f litg-jt, most prudent^ 



110 LESSON XXXII. 

4. The following are of irregular comparison : 

grojj, large; gr&fjer, larger; gregt, largest; 

gut, go^d ; Beffer, better ; fcejt, best ; 

tyo$, high; \ $5§er, higher; f)od)ft, highest; 

naty near uci^er, nearer; nad)ft, nearest, next ; 

fciel, much, many ; metjr, more; nteift (met)rft), most. 

ipocfy, when used attributively drops its c, also in the positive ; 
as, eiu Ijotjer (not I)o$er) 33erg, a high mountain. 

5. Adjectives are subject to the same rules of declension in 
the comparative and superlative, as in the positive (L. XIV. 3. 
L. XV. 1. and L. XVI. 1): 

(Sr if! retdjer ate id). He is richer than I. 

(£r ifl tin retdjerer Sftarm aU id). He is a richer man than I. 

(£r ifl ber reidjjle SJkrm. He is the richest man. 

SJWn fcefter £ut ifl nic^t neu. My best hat is not new. 

£)er fcefle $ut ifl nid)t fe^r gut. The best hat is not very good. 

SEBeffcit £ut ift ber Befte ? Whose hat is the best? 

2Beffen £ud) ifl ba$ kfle ? Whose book is the best? 

6. When the superlative is used predicatively it usually 
stands in the dative after a nt (an tent § 38.) : 

9fteirt #ut ifl am kflert. My hat is the best (lit. at the best). 

Sfteirt 33udj ifl am fceflert. My book is the best. 

(£r tfl am attefiert son alien. He is the oldest of all. 

<5te lefcn a m kfleru You read the best. 

*l. The superlative is often suffixed to the genitive plural of 
all: 

JMtftt Jttt ifl ber *Wnjle, or ) Thig hat . g ^ finegt of aU> 

©tefer §ut ift a m allerfdjtmjleru ) 

(Sin atterliefcfleS $tnb. A most charming child. 

8. When two qualities of the same object are compared, the 
adjective, without change of form, is qualified by some other 
word : 

(Er ifl me r)r tapfer ate flug. He is more valiant than prudent. 

(£r ifl tt eni g e r tapfer ate Hug. He is less valiant than prudent. 

<£r ifl efcen fo tapfer ate flug. He is just as valiant as prudent. 

9. Participles are subject to the same rules of comparison 



COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES. Ill 

and declension as the adjective, except that they do not take 
the Umlaut ; and in the present }t , instead of eft, is added : 

<£in ritfyrcnbercS (Sdjaufpict. A more touching spectacle. 

£>a$ rityrertbfle <S$aitfpiel. The most touching spectacle. 

10. 3e — btfto, or je — je (with the comparative) answers to 
the — the in English : 

Se alt:: beflo (or je) e^vtDurbtger* The older the more venerable. 

Se efyer ber 23ore gef)t, urn befto fceffer The sooner the messenger goes th 

fur un$. better for us. 

Se langer je liekr. The longer the better. 

11. After the latter of these words ( — fcefto, or — je) the verb 
precedes its subject : 

Se fleigiger irir fmb, beffo fd)nelfer The more industrious we are, the 
Iernen nnr (instead ofmx lernen). faster we learn (learn we). 

Se f)6r)er man i|t bcflo tiefer farm man The higher one is, the deeper one 
fallen. can (can one) fall. 

Se tdnger id) mitu)m kfanntMn, befro The longer I am acquainted with

LESSON XXXIII. Cection XXXni. 

ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY. 

1. Adjectives denoting persons are often used substantively, 
where in English they are followed by a word referring to in- 
dividuals or objects : 

£)er ©ute bebcm'ert ben Sofen. The good (man) pities the bad (one). 

£)er S5i>fc $a$t oft ben ©uten. The bad (man) often hates the good 

©in 9?eibif#er tfl nie gliic!li<§. An envious (person) is never happy. 

Sfber Sfteibifd&e tfl UttjUfrte&CTU Every envious man is discontented. 

Sene <3d)ime tfl feljr fiolj* That fair (one) is very proud. 

Die ttnglucf'Ud)e ttetnt. The unfortunate (woman) weeps. 

2Bct3 tt>itfjr bit, mein Kleiner? What do you wish, my little fellow ? 

;Der £rauernbe weint (L. xxxvn. 1). The mourner (mourning man) 

weeps. 

2. In the neuter, the adjective is often employed as an ab- 
stiact noun, and may be preceded as well by the indefinite as 
the definite article ; or it may be used without either : 

£a$ 9Jitj?It$e iji icffer att baS ©c&one* The useful is better than the beau- 
tiful. 

£>er SBeife »ei& nid)t »$♦ The wise (man) does not know 

every thing (all). 



114 LESSON XXXIII. 

<£$ tft t$m fin £ei$tc3. It is an easy thing for him. 

SJcrgel'te ni)t 235fe3 mit 23cfent Repay not evil with (for) evil. 

(£3 liebt tie SBelt ba«3 ©trafylenbe ju The world loves to blacken what 

fd)ftd'r$en unb bag Srfja'kne in ben is bright (the glittering) and drag 

<&tau1> ju jtefyen. — @« into the dust the elevated 

3. The superlative 23 eft , in the sense (3f an abstract noun, 
answers to a variety of terms in English which are generally 
best suggested according to the sentence where it is employed. 
Thus it may be rendered by good ; benefit ; or, by other parts 
of speech : 

(£3 ifl fur ba$ (uTgemeine 33 e ft e* It is for the general good. 

<Sie fang jum 33 e ft c n ber Slrmett, She sang for the benefit of the poor. 

(£r gab un3 etwaS jum S3 e ft e n* He favored us with something. 

©ekn ©ic un$ cin Sieb pm 33 e ft c n. Give us a song for our entertainment 

"With \) a fc c n, and sometimes with f) a 1 1 c n, the same word is used to 
denote the advantage which a person seeks to gain by means of facetious 
irony, or playful ridicule : 

©ie Staferoetfe §ctt ©te jum S3 eft en. The pert (girl) is rallying you. 

— £. 

(£r §at tfm jum 33 eft en. He is ridiculing (or, "befooling") 

him. 

2)tefe fcetben grennbe $a ft en gem ein* These two friends are fond of ral- 

anber jnm S3 e ft e n. lying each other. 

S)cr Ciigner fydlt gem 5fnbere pim The liar is fond of duping others. 

S3 eft en. 

4. The comparative of 9ta1) e, is often used substantively in 
the signification of particulars, nearer details : 

2Btffen<Sie ntd)t ba$ Sftdfere « on ber Do you not know the particulars 

<5ac()e ? of the affair ? 

5ft afy e r e § fann er 3^nen fagen. (The) nearer details he can commu- 

nicate you. 

FORMATION OF ADJECTIVES FROM PROPER NAMES OF COUNTRIES 
AND CITIES. 

5. Adjectives are formed from names of countries and cities, 
by means of the suffix i f d) j and those of the former frequently 
take the Umlaut, if capable of it. In place of an adjective of 
this ending, however, the name of the city with the suffix er 
is often employed, and is undeclined : 



FORMATION OF ADJECTIVES FROM PROPER NAMES. 115 

Sictc ^Vmmerntratenin fd)toebtfd)en Many Pomeranians entered into

Obs.- Note, that adjectives derived from the names of cities, are 
written with capital initials ; as are also those denoting a language, if 
preceded by the article and used without a noun. 



FORMATION OF ADJECTIVES FROM PROPER NAMES OF PERSONS. 

6. Adjectives are formed from the names of persons by 
means of the suffix ifd) , and are usually rendered by a noun : 

©aiu. Deutfdjtanb feufttc imter 5hte* All Germany sighed under the bur- 

geStafh bod) $riebe roar 1 3 im SBaflen* den of war, but there was peace

bem ftetnbe einen 9)ta§ nad) bem an* the enemy one place after an 

bern auS.— @. (the) other. 

7. Adjectives denoting a sect, derived from proper names are 
o'^en written with a small initial : 

£*m neunid'^rtgen tfurfurjien gao man To the nine years old elector Cab 

catoinifd)e £ef)rer.— <S. vinist teachers were given.

LESSON XXXIV. Section XXXIV. 

OMISSION OF INFLECTIONAL ENDINGS OF ADJECTIVES. 

1. The adjectives e i t e I and tauter, in the signification of 
all nothing but, mere, sometimes stand without inflection be- 
fore nouns : 

S3 iji I a u t e r (Stgenjmn. It is mere obstinacy. 

28 tr froljen 9ftenfdjenftnber ftrtb ettel We proud sons of men are nothing 

arme ©iirtber. — SL but poor sinners. 

Urtfer la liter guten ©trtgert if! Me Among things that are all good 

5Sa$t fcfyroer. the choice is difficult. 

2. When several adjectives qualify the same noun, the in- 
flectional endings of all but the last are sometimes dropped, 
and the omission indicated by a hyphen. In like manner the 
last syllable of compound adjectives is sometimes omitted : 
X)te fd}roars==ron>goIberte Saftne. The black red golden banner. 
JHemcmb roar fo freuben* unb fdjtaflod Nobody was as joyless and sleeT>- 

rMe er. — 3£, less (joy- and sleepless) as he. 

3. In the nominative and accusative neuter, adjectives often 
omit the inflectional endings : 

5De$ Sftertfdjen Sefcen fdjeint etrt^errltdj The life of man seems a glorious 
£oo§, — ©. allotment. 



118 LESSON XXXIY. 

4. An adjective in denoting a language, when not preceded 
by the article, as exemplified in the preceding lesson, is also 
undeclined : 

(£r fagte e3 auf enattfd). He said it in English. 

5. When the latter of two adjectives is employed, conjointly 
with its noun, to embrace as one idea that which theirs* qual- 
ifies, it takes the form of the new declension : 

£)enn geenb'iget nad) lang e m Herbert) '=* For, ended, after long ruinous strife, 

lid) en ©treiti® roar bie faiferlofe, was the emperorless, the terri- 

Mc fd)rec?lid)e Beit, unb etn 9ttd)ter ble period, and there was a ruler 

roar roieber auf (Erben. — <S* (judge) again upon earth. 

Obs. — The above rule, though extending to both the gen. and dat., 

is rarely applied, except in the masc. and neut. of the latter. Note, 

also, that where the adjectives may be joined by it n b , or so separated 

as equally to refer to the same noun, the latter one also takes the old 

form (compare 1, 2. § 34.) ; thus, (Sr Iofd)t feinen £)urft mit flar e m fait e n 

(n, as euphonic) Staffer; or, mit flare m unb faltem SBaffer, as also mit 

Harem, faltem SBaffer* 

6. A clause or sentence is often used adjectively, sometimes 
requiring to be translated by a relative clause : 

Die in sprd'ipojttto'nen $e=* The nouns that have (The to prepositions 
roorbenen'Suojrantt'tiett. become prepositions, become nouns). 

"Die urfpriraaUd) auS all The conjunction aU (The originally from

conjunction a I 3 Ijat pounded of all and fo ed conjunction aU has> 
tmmer bie 93ebeu'tung always has the signi- always, etc.) 
eine$ 9ftelftti'J}3»" fication of a relative. 

ADJECTIVES USED ADVERBIALLY. 

7. Adjectives in all degrees of comparison, in the form i» 
which they occur as predicate, are employed adverbially : 

(Er lieft fdjnell ; erfprid)t langfanu Hereadsfast; he speaks slowly. 

Der einjelne SSftann entflie'ljt ami tidy The single man escapes the easiest 
tejren.— ®*

Craft geljt gera'be: eine Stano'* hood; strength goes straight : a

(Er jfljrei&t g u t , fie fdjret&t fceffer, He writes well, she writes better, 

imb ©te fd)rcit>en am ftc jr e n. and you write the best. 

(E8 ijl $ i> dj ft wafyrfdjeinlid). It is (most) highly probable. 

(Er »errid)t'ete bad ©efdjaft' aufS (§ 38* He transacted the business most 

1.) gewiffenf)aft'e jre. conscientiously. 

8. Adverbs are produced by adding to the simple form of 
the superlative the termination e it £ : 

SBti wofjnen meifienS ouf bemSanbe. We live mostly ia the country. 
Eie ift §5d)ften3 bretjua, Saljre alt. She is at most thirty years old 

9. Formerly adverbs were distinguished, in the positive de- 1 
gree, from adjectives by a final e. This termination is still 
often used, especially in poetry ; and in the adverb laruje is N 
always retained : 

Reiner mod)te ba fejr e ftetjen, mem id), No one coiild stand firmly (there), 

too er ftel. — <S. I think, where he fell. 

SfBie long e Wo^nte er tyier ? How long did he live here ? X 

(Er if: long e nicr)t fo alt tt>ie id). He is not as old by far as I. S"\ 

3d) $ofce u)n long e ntd)t gefe'^en. U have not seen him for a long time. V 

10. The comparative of ijiel is often rendered by longer, 
that of I a n g e by more ; the superlative 1 & n <j ft by a fon^ 
^77ze, forc^ a^o; the superlative of Jung by recently, lately : 

(Er tjr ntdjt meljr ju ng. He is no longer young.

ABSOLUTE POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS. 

1. When the possessive pronouns relate, attributively, to a 
noun understood, and are not followed by an adjective, they 
are called absolute possessive pronouns. They are of two 
forms; as, meirt-er, e, e3, inflected like an adjective of the old 
declension; and t>er, bie, ba$ mei«--ige, or the shorter form, ber, 
tic, baS mein-e, inflected like an adjective of the new declension : 



Masculine. 

N. mein-er; 

G. meitt-e3; mem-ei 

D. metrt-em; mctn-et 

- A. mem-ett ; mein-e 



OLD DECLENSION. 

Feminine. 
mem-e : 



Neuter. 
mein-eS ; 
meitt-eS : 



of mine : 



meiit-em ; to, or for mine : 
meirt-c3 : mine. 



NEW DECLENSION. 

N. ber meitt-ige; biemem-ige; ba3 meitt-ige; mine; 

G. beS meitt-tgett; ber mein-igett; be* mcin— igen ; of mine, 

D. tern mem-tgett; ber mem-igen ; bemmein-tgen; to, for mine; 

A. t>ett mein-tgett; bie mein-tge; ba5 mein-ige; mine ; or, 

N. ber mein-e; bie meirt-e; bag mem-e; 

G. be£ meirt-eit; ber mem-en; be3 mem-ett: 

D. bem meirt-ett; ber mem-en; bem mein-ett: 

A. ben mein-ett; bie meitt-e; ba3 mein-e;

be unb nid)t m bein-cm. unb md)t $u bem bein-en and not to yours. 
{or bem bein-tgen). 

2. The absolute possessive pronouns are often used substan 
tively in the neuter singular, to denote property or obligation : 

Scl) jle^e roieber auf bem 2Jkinigen. — I am standing again upon my own 

<S. ground. 

Sarbina'l, id) 'fya'bt bag SDfcinigc ge* Cardinal, I have done my duty (I 

t^a'n. £fmn ©te bag S^re. — ©♦ have done mine). Do yours. 

3. In the plural the absolute possessive pronouns often de- 
note one's family or relatives; they are likewise, where the 
application is sufficiently obvious, made to refer to dependents ; 
as servants, soldiers, etc. : 

£ajl bu bag ©djrecHidjjle, ta^ £e|te Hast thou averted from thy own 

Son ben 2)einen aftgewefjrt?— <3. themost dreadful, the final (fate)? 

Seopclb. after Befool ben ©einen »on But Leopold ordered his (soldiers) 

ben SftofTen JU fietgen.— 2ft. to dismount from their horses. 

SfBag liegt btm guten Sftenfdjen nd^er What lies nearer (in interest) to the 

alg bit ©einen?— @. good man than his own (family) t 

4. The genitive singular of the possessive pronoun is often 
compounded with gl et dj e tt, as is also that of the plural fc er. 
The words thus formed are indeclinable, and refer to nouns of 
each gender and in either number : 

SBer in ber Scmmttte' ijl meineg gtei* Who in the committee is mr equal t 
<ten?— <2>.

jurors of his peers. 

One should not afterward view 
the like deeds so critically. 

Drunkenness, revelings, and such 
like. 



5. ®(etd)Crt, however, often stands apart from the pronoun, 
and is then written with a capital initial :

POSITION OF THE MAIN VERB IN COMPOUND TENSES. 

3. In compound tenses and independent propositions the in- 
finitive or participle is placed at the end of the sentence. In 
the second future the auxiliary fyabm (or fetn) follows the past 
participle :

j. Two or more nouns in the singular, as embracing but one 
ictr*i, are sometimes made the subject of a singular verb :

PRESENT PARTICIPLE. 



1 The present participle is formed by suffixing e it to the 
root ; 

^Off-enb, hoping ; ^or-enb, hearing ; mctcfy-enb, making ; 
IeB-enb, living; ft efc-enb, loving ; loB-enb, praising. 

PERFECT PARTICIPLE. 

2. The perfect participle is formed by suffixing t to the root, 
and prefixing, to verbs that have the accent in the first syl- 
lable, the augment <}e: 

ge-^off-t, hoped; ge-tyor-t, heard; ge-mad)-t, made; 
ge-leo-t, lived ; ge-lief)-t, loved ; ge-loB-t, praised ; 
fhtbir-t, studied ; fcerfauf-t, sold ; Beftraf-t, punished. 

3. Verbs compounded with the particles Be, empt, ent, etc., 
(§ 94. and 95.) do not take the augment g e; hence those com- 
pounded with the 'particle g e have the same form for the per- 
fect participle as the simple verb ; thus, geprt is the participle 
of pren and get)5ren; gelofct of (often and geloBen, etc. : 

(£r tyat mid) <jetyort\ He has heard me. 

(£$ Ijctt mir geprtV It has belonged to me. 

INFLECTION OF THE PARTICIPLES. 

4. Participles are often used as adjectives, and are then sub- 
ject to the same declension : 

©in gelte'ot-er <3o^n franft oft feme A loved son often grieves his lov- 

lieoenb en ©Item* ing parents. 

So ba$ (Mte'ot-e t»o$nt, ba tft unfer Where the loved (object) dwells, 

$cr&» — ■£>♦ there is one's (our) heart. 

PRESENT TENSE. 

Singular. 

6, The first person singular adds e, the second ft, and the 
third t to the root : 

First Person. Second Person. Third Person. 

id) loo-e, I praise; bu loo-ft, thou praisest; er tob-t, he praises; 
id) jmbir-e, I study; bu jmbit-|r, thou studiest; er fiubir-t, he studies. 



conjugation of SteBcn. x81 

Plural. 

6. The first and third persons add e it, and the second adds 
i to the root : 

ttir IoB-en, we praise; tyx lofi-t, you praise; ftelofc-en, they praise; 
toir jhtbir-ett, we study; tyr fhtbtr-t, you study; fte fhtbtr-en, they study. 

IMPERFECT TENSE. 

Sing ular. 

7. The first and third persons singular of the imperfect add 
te, and the second teft to the root : 

tdjIoB-te, I praised ; bit Tofc-tcft, thou praised st; erlolMe, hepraised; 
id) ftubir-te, I studied; bit fhtbir-tcfb thoustudiedst; er jlubir-te, he studied. 

Plural. 

8. The first and third persons plural of the imperfect add 
ten, and the second tct: 

BnrloB-ten, we praised ; tfrloB-tcr, youpraised; fte Io Men, they,etc 
toir fiubir-ten, we studied; tyx fhtbtr— tct, you studied; fie futbtr-ten, they,etc 

PERFECT AND PLUPERFECT TENSES. 

9. The perfect and pluperfect tenses are formed by combin- 
ing the perfect participle with the present and imperfect tenses 
of fyrten (or fern L. XLVIII.) : 

SBaS ptt&en ©te gelernt' ? "What have you learned ? 

SBctt §at ber Sftann gelofct'? Whom has the man praised? 

SBaritm' ^atte er gercetnt'? Y/hy had he wept? 

FUTURE TENSES. 

10. The first and second futures are formed by combining 
the present and perfect infinitive with the present indicative of 
the auxiliary toerben (L. XL VI.) : 

2Ba3 roerbett @ie faufcit? What shall you buy? 

2BaS rctrb fte faitfen ? What will she buy ? 

SBaS rotrb er gejjort' fcafcen? What will he have heard ? 



132 lesson xxxvn. 

ORTHOGRAPHIC AND EUPHONIC CHANGES. 

11. Where the roots end in t> or t, an e is inserted between it 
and the inflectional endings, which begin with f or t. Thus, 
also, e is sometimes inserted after other final root letters : 
Present. Mft-eft, for feUVfi; ftart-et, for »art— t ; 
Imperfect. Btfo-ete, for Bifb-te ; foart-ete, for i»art-te ; 
Participle. geMlt-et, for geMfo-tj gefoart-et, for gewart-t* 
fokft, tiki, lobete, geloftet, etc., see 2. 5. 6. etc. 

12. Verbs whose roots end in el or er drop the e in the first 
person singular of the present tense, as also the e of the term- 
ination in the infinitive and present participle : 

Bcttcl— n for Bettel-en; gttt-re for gitt— ere ; 
Mtel-nt> for Bettel-enb;- gitter— nb for gitter— ertb* 

13. The imperative adds, in the singular, e, and in the plural t : 

(Sage mir, wa$ benfft bu son bent ©ib? Tell me, what thinkest thou of the 

SeeL. IX. 3. oath? 

SBrcutdjt euer Sfufefjn. — ©. Use your authority.

LESSON XXXVIII. Section XXXVIII. 

ON THE USE OF THE TENSES. 
PRESENT. 

1. The present tense is used : 

a. To denote what is transpiring at the time : " speaking, 
as also stating general truths : 

<E* rcbenunb traumenbte S0lenf(^en »tel Men (mankind) speak and dream 
»on Befferen fimfttgen Sagen. — ©♦ much of better future days. 

SBenn euer ©ettriff'en rein tft, fo feib If your conscience is clear, (then) 
u)r fret. — ©. you are free. 

PRESENT RENDERED BY THE PERFECT. 

b. To indicate a time that an unfinished action has continued, 
in which use the verb is frequently accompanied by the adverb 
fcfycm, generally not requiring translation; or by the preposition 
feit, which may be rendered by for, or entirely omitted. In this 
use the German present is rendered by the English perfect : 

(Ex ijr fyerein' feit mef reren (Stunben. He has been here for (since) several 

— <2u hours. 

©djott in ben fedjjteit Hftonb ttegt er im He has lain (he lies) nearly six 

£fjttrm. — <S. months in the tower. 

THE PRESENT FOR THE FUTURE. 

c. To denote a Future action, or to indicate the willingness 
or ability of the subject : 

2Ber ttcig, roer ntorgen it&cr unS k" Who knows who will command us 

jteljlt' ? — <S» to-morrow ? 

Set) fedjte rttd^t gegen bid), ttenn ify& I will not fight against you, if T 

scrmei'ben farm. — ©♦ can avoid it. 

5Ber fcefdjretbt' bte ©djmerjett eineS Who can describe the sorrows of 

fcerfann'ten, son alien ©eiten juriidE'=* a misapprehended, philanthropic 

geflofjenen menfdjenfreunblidjen £er" heart, repelled (thrust back) on 

&en3 ? — ©. every side ? 

d. THE PRESENT INDICATIVE FOR THE IMPERATIVE. 

3$r fdjtoeigt MS man cu tj aufruft, — ©♦ Be silent till you are summoned. 

IMPERFECT. 

2. The imperfect coi responds mainly to the same tense in 



ON THE USE OF THE TENSES. 13£ 

English, § 138. Frequently, however, it refers to an action 
performed at an indefinite past time, and is best rendered by 
the English perfect : 

Sapfer t|t ber SfficMejttunger, Brave is the conqueror of the world, 

Sapfcrcr rer ftd) felfcfr bejivancj/ — f>. braver (he) who (has) conquered 

himself. 
SBer ncmu baS ©IiidE nod) falfd; ? mtr Who still calls fortune false? it has 
tioax e£ treu. — <2>. been (was) true to me. 

PERFECT. 

3. The perfect is used as in English ; and also in reference 
to a period of time fully passed, in which latter use it is ren- 
dered by the English imperfect : 

3d) tyctfce e§ gejlern ge* I heard it yosterday. (I have it yesterday 

$ort\ heard.) 

(£r tyat im# sergan'gene He visited us last week. (He has us last week 

2Bod)e 6efu<$t'. visited.) 

FUTURE TENSES. 

4. The future tenses, besides answering to the corresponding 
English ones, often indicate a probability. Thus used the first 
future is rendered by the present, and the second by the im- 
perfect or perfect with an appropriate adverb : 

3d) fjore Semcmb fommer.; c3 roirb ber I hear somebody coming (come); it 
SBirtfy fein. — £♦ is probably the host (landlord). 

5Du rotr|t biefe 9?ad)rtd)t fc^cn gefciirt' You have doubtless already heard 
fyaben. this news. 

IMPERATIVE. 

5. ;Dlt and \fyc, as subject of the imperative are usually omit- 
ted ; other pronouns are expressed : 

SBringe mtr betrte Sikr>er. ) _ . , . _ _ 

M . \ . a, .. « I Bring me your books. See Lesson 

SBrtngt mtr eure §Bud)er. \ V £ VTT \ q , 

Sringen ©ie mtr 3$re Sitter. > ^ A v 1L l ' 6 ' °- 

6. Although sentences in which <& i e is the subject, have, 
for both the interrogative and imperative, the same form, yet 
they are as readily distinguished by the inflections of the voice 
in speaking, as by the mark of interrogation in writing : 

&er<jffpen <Bk jenen 9cameru Forget that name. 



136 



lesson xxxvni. 



SSergefl fit <5ie jenen 9?amen? 
©Iaukn <oie ttidji roag er fagt* 
©laukn ©ie nic^t wag cr fagt ? 



Do you forget that name? 

Do not believe what he says. 

Do you not believe what he says 1 



7. Where in English an auxiliary stands as the substitute 
of a previously expressed verb, the Germans either repeat the 
verb entire, or wholly omit it : 



<&k fennen ir)n, id) nid)t ; or 
<5te fennen i§tt, id) fewte itjn nid)t. 
<£r Xjat bag SBud) gete'fen, id) nidjt; or

You know him, I (do) not; or 
You know him, I do notknow him. 
He has read the book, I (have) not; or 
He has read the book, I have not 

read it. 
I do not see him, (do) you ?

2. DECLENSION OF THE RELATIVE £> t r. 

Singular. Plural. 

Masc. Fern. Neut. All Genders. 

N. ber, tie, bctS, bte, who, which, that ; 

G. b e f f t n, b e r e n, b e f f e n, b e r e n, whose, of which, that ; 

D. bem, ber, bem, berten, to or for whom, which; 

A. ben, bte, bets, bie, whom, which, that. 

The relative it> el $ e r is declined like the interrogative tt) el* 
(3) er (see list L. X. 4). 

3. The genitive of it) e I $ e r is used when the relative is im- 
mediately followed by the noun to which it refers ; otherwise 
the genitive of b e r is preferred : 

* ©differ, weld) eg grojjen ©djrift* Schiller, w/wcA great writer's works

Itd'nertn. 



CONSTRUCTION WI1H THE RELATIVE PRONOUN. 139 

4. SMdjcr, ftelcfce, or ttefcfyee is sometimes used in the signi 
fication of °ome, any, as-a substitute for a previously expressed 
noun : 

3d) labz tticbcr ©elb, braud)en @ic I have (some) money again, do you 
neld)c3 ? need some (any) ? 

&o??ze or awy, before nouns, is only rendered in German, when it sig- 
nifies a few, a Utile, and in this sense it usually answers to ettttgcr# till" 
d)er, or ctroaS : 

£abcn <Sie etraaS 2Betn? Have you any {some) wine? 

SBringe mtr etntge SXepfeL Bring me some (a few) apples. 

(£r null entire Spferbe faufett. He wishes to buy some (afew) horses. 

3d) yabe etntge ©tafylfcbcrn, braudjen I have some (afew) steel pens, do 

<8>te n>eld)e ? you need some (any) ? 
3d) ^abc and) totldjt, aber mcin Srettnb I have some too, but my friend has 

b,at feinc. none. 

CONSTRUCTION OF SENTENCES CONNECTED WITH THE RELATIVE 
PRONOUN. 

5. When the members of a sentence are connected by a rel- 
ative pronoun, the verb is placed last; and the auxiliary, when 
used, follows the main verb ; 

3d) I o b e ben $flam, ben I praise the man whom 

<Ste 1 o b c n. you praise. 

3d) lobe ben Sttamt, ber I praise the man who I praise the man who 

mid) lob t. praises me. me praises. 

9?id)t Side ftnb utfrie'ben, Not all are contented Not all are contented 

b i e reid) ftnb. who are rich. who rich are. 

(£r tyat bae" 23ud), b a 3 id) He has the book that I He has the book that I

©ien>ob,nen in beer; Caufe They live in the house They live in the house 

in weld) em tov toob* in which we shall in which we live 

nenwerben. live. shall. 

6. Besides the relative pronoun, there are many connecting 
words which require the same construction (List L. 53.) : 

(Er tji "fceute, too er gefiern to ax. 

<£x toax geflern, "too er^euteifr. 

<5ie ftnb unjufrteben, n> e i I fte arm finb.

LESSON XL. flection XL. 

2Ber and 2Ba3 as relative. 

1. S3 e r is used with the force of an antecedent and relative, 
or may be followed by the demonstrative pronoun b er, (L. 
XLIV.j in a succeeding clause : 

SB e r ftcj) nidjt feHJft kftef)lt\ fcleifct (He) who governs not himself re- 

immer em $rted)t. — ©. mains always a slave. 

SB e r ntdjt §5ren voiU, ber rrutjjj fufyten. He who will not hear must feel. 

2. S3 e r sometimes occurs in the signification of 3emcmD : 

£tep ctudjbie eto'ge $forte irert pritcf, Even if the eternal portal should 
er fcfynnege. — SL SB. ©. let any one return, he would 

keep silence. 

3. 2S a 3, like what, is used with the signification of an ante- 
cedent and relative ; it also stands as a simple relative after a 
neuter antecedent which does not refer to a previously express- 
ed noun : 

® owett gie&t, roer gtei$ gtefct He who gives immediately what one 

SB a 3 man roimfd): imb Iie&t.— ® wishes and loves, gives twofold 

SBaSbu §eute tr;tm farmft, bag mx* What thou canst do to-day defer 

fdjte'fce ntd)t auf ntorgen. not until to-morrow. 



2£er and 2£a$ as relative. ] 43 

9fllc3, tr>a$ id) $6re, ftrtb ©rimnten ber All that I hear are voices of joy 

$reube unb be3 £;mf3. — ®ep. and thankfulness. 

%m, » aS ijl unb gefd)te'f)t, gef)ort JU Every thing that exists and cccura 

einem $lan, sjon bem mix nidjtS belongs to a plan of which we 

»er|1ef)en. understand nothing. 

4. For further illustration of the use of the pronominal ad- 
verbs, compare with the following examples, § 103. I. 2 : 

?Mt bte <Sprad)e an unb fur ftd) ift Not (L. XLII. 1. a.) language in and 

rtdnig, tiidjtig unb jterltd), fonbctn of itself is correct, forcible and 

ber ©etfr ifi t$, ber fid) b a r i n ser* elegant, but it is the spirit that 

fbr'pcrt. — ®. is embodied in it. 

S o r i n' Ijat er Unredjt ? In what (wherein) is he wrong ? 

5. When the antecedent is a pronoun of the first or second 
person, the verb agrees with the relative in the third ; or the 
personal pronoun is repeated after the relative : 

2Ba3 fann id) t^un, b e r felkr plfloS What can I do, who myself am (is) 

if! ? helpless ? 

£>a3 iuljfen tttr, bte tt)tr bie ©em- That we know, who (we) hunt the 

fen jagen. — ©♦ chamois. 

6. The relative sometimes precedes the word to which it re- 
fers, which latter is sometimes omitted : 

£) t e e3 genof'fen f)cibtn f b en e n tji e3 Those who have enjoyed it, to them 

tljeuer. — ©. it is dear. 

3>te er gemcfjrt' fjat, mogen um U)n (They) whom he has aggrandized 

weincn. — o. may weep for him. 

7. The relative can not, as sometimes in English, be omitted, 
but must always be expressed : 

3d) fd)cime mid) ber Sffoffe, bte id) I shame me of the part (— ) I play- 

fptelte ; ed.— Scott. 

'© t)l ber 9T6enb be$ £efcen3, b er mtr 'T is the sunset of life (that) gives 

cjc^cinmijftotfeS SBijfen gteBt. me mystical lore. 

8. In subordinate sentences the copula (auxiliary verb) is 
frequently omitted : 

Den ©urji nad) fetner (£rfennt'nt£ ftiflt The thirst after a knowledge of him 

4 gerctg\ b e r und nut biefem 2)urjr self, He will certainly satisfy who 

erfd)af fen ($at) .— £. (has) created us with this thirst. 

SBenn bu ba$ gro£e ©fciel ber 2BeTt When thou hast seen the great 
g:fe'§en (f)afi), fo fe^rejr bu reid)er game of the world (life), thou re-

LESSON XLI. Union XL1. 

DETERMINATIVE PRONOUNS. 

1. The determinative pronouns are berjettige, b i ej e* 
ntge, bad i en ig e, (fcer, see 3.) betfeUe, btefelfce, bad* 
f e 1 6 e and f o I dj e r, f o I d) e, f o I d) e d. @ o I d) e r, is declined 
like b t e f e r (L. X. 4.) ; b e r, Die, b a 3 i e n t g e ; b e r, b i e ; 
b a f f e U c, is declined like b c r, b i e, b a d meinige, L. XXXV. 

2. ©evjenige refers to something specified in a succeed- 
ing part of the sentence, and must be followed by a relative 
clause ; berjentge may be rendered by he, the one, that, etc. 

©erierttgci welder nctdjlafftg iji, Icritt He (the one) who is negligent do^s 
nidjt fdmelL not learn rapidly. 



146 LESSON XLI.

SDie SBiidjer, tteldje (bte) id) fyak, ftnb The books which I have are be Iter 
fceffer aU btejenigen, bte er tyat. than those which he has. 

3. For berjetttge b e r is often substituted, in which significa- 
tion, when used adjectively, it is inflected like the definite ar- 
tfcle. When supplying the place of a noun, it has the declen- 
sion of the relative b er , except that the genitive plural isberer 
instead of bere n. 

©ie traurtg ifl ba$ £oo3 berer, be= How sad is the lot of those whose

3d) meine nidjt btefeS 23udj, fonbern I do not mean this book, but that 

bag, tteldjeS ba3$inb $at. (the one) that the child has. 

4. ©erfelbe answers in use and signification to the same : 

3d) ^aBe benfelBen Sftann gefe'^en, ben I have seen the same man that he 

er gefe't)en |at. has seen. 

Sir kibe lefen biefel&ett SSudjer. We both read the same books. 

SUBSTITUTION OF ;DerfelBe FOR THE PERSONAL PRONOUN. 

©erfelfce is substituted for the personal pronouns : 

a. After prepositions when the pronoun refers to animate, 
or inanimate objects : 

(Er $ctt metnen SSleifftft unb fdjreifttmtt He has my pencil and is writing 

bemfelfcen (not mit itym). with it (with the same). 

&r fdjnitt ben 9tpfel unb gaB mtr etnen He cut the apple and gave me a 

£f)etl b e f f e I & e n. part of it (of the same). 

b. To avoid ambiguity or the repetition of a pronoun : 

©tefe Seute ftnb unfere S?ad)£arn, fen* These people are our neighbors, 
nen ©ie btefel&en? do you know i hem (the same) ? 

<£r IoBt ben $nctfcen, roetl b e r f e l& e He praises the boy because he (the 
feine Gutter e§rt. same), honors his mother. 



DETERMINATIVE PRONOUN'S. 14*1

ten. of one). 

<Ste fcfyucftcn tfjrcn 5Unbern, biefet* They wrote to their children that 

fcen mu^ten gleidj atueifcn. they must start immediately. 

5. @ o I dj e r is frequently followed by a relative pronoun, 
which in this position is rendered by as : 

S$ lefe nur foldje 23ud)er, bie lefjr*- I read only such books as (which) 
retd) ftnb. are instructive. 

6. When f o 1 d) e V marks similarity, rather than identity, it 
is followed by mi e : 

#aBen <Ste fo!d)e Suite tt>ieidj) ge=* Have you bought such ink as I 

fan ft' tyafce ? have? 

3a, id) tyafce et>en foldje. Yes, I "have just such. 

<S o 1 d) e ©djiffe, n> i e bte, son benen Such ships as (those that) you speak 

©te fpred)en, ftnb unftdjer* of are unsafe.

1. £)er, bi e, b a 3, often supply, as demonstrative pronouns, 
the place of biefet and jener, and when used with nouns. 



DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS. 157 

aie distinguished from the article of like form, by a greater 
emphasis : 

3d) Iofce b c n $flam, md)t btefcn. I praise that man, not this one. 

3d) Iofce b e n Sftann, nidjt jenen. I praise this man, not that one. 

■Dad 93ud) tjabe id) fdjott gele'fen. 27m book I have already read- 

SB er Ifl b e r ?* Who is that (or tAu) ? 

2. When the demonstrative b er is used with a noun, it has 
the declension of the definite article ; used substantively, it fol- 

cws the inflection of the relative & er (L. 39. 2.) : 

% en SSKdmtern $afce id) bad ®elb fdjon To those men I have already sent 

gefd)icft'. the money. 

© e n e n $alt id) e3 fdjon gcfd)tcf t'. To those I have already sent it. 

Sebermann tttrb eud) lofcen, bap tf)r Every body will praise you that 

benctt (i.e. the rulers) »on Sfcitrtt* you have declared war (feud) 

fccrg ge^)b 1 angefitnbtgt ^afct.— ©. against those of Nuremberg. 

3. The demonstrative b e r may often be best rendered by a 
personal pronoun; its genitive, like that of the relative ber, 
always precedes the governing noun : 

• £d'§t eud) b e r (that one) tterfol'gen ?" Does he cause you to be pursued ? 

"£>er fdjabet ntd)t mcijr, id) fyab 1 i^rt He will do (L. 38. 1. c.) no more 

erfdjta'gen." harm, I have slain him. 

Sr Hefct fetnen SBruber, a£er nidjt b e f= He loves his brother, but not his 

fen 5ltnber. (that's) children. 

'SBeffen SSrob bu tffefi, beffcn Cicb Whose bread thou eatest, his song 

bu ftngejt." thou singest. 

4. T) e r is used before the genitive, as the substitute of a 
i.oun previously expressed, in which position it is rendered that 
before the objective with of; or, frequently, the English pos 
sessive is used and its governing noun is not expressed : 

3d) ^afce mcinen Sail unb ben bed I have my ball and that of tho 

tfna&en. boy. 

<£r Ijat feine $eber unb bte feiner He has his pen and that of his 

Sdjwejter. sister.f 

* When thus used, b e r is often made still more significant by a sign 
or gesture: T) a 3 (that at which I point) t]t metrt 93udj, unb ba$ (that 
other one) ift feined, that is my book, and that (yonder) is his. £) e r i|l 
ed (L. 28.8.), tiefen £unbert ©timmen, ber rettete bie Jtbmgin, he is the one, 
cried (a) hundred voices, he rescued the queen. 

f Or, I have my ball and the boy's (ball) ; or, he has his pen and hia 
sister's (pen). 



158 LESSON XLIV. 

£ie flaBen Sflre SMiljer unb b te Sflrer You have your books and those of 

SBriiber. your brothers. 

£>aBen <5ie bte %d tx Sflrer ©ruber, Have you the pens of your broth- 

*>ber b i e ber metntgen ? ers, or those of mine ? 

5. The genitives t> e f f e n, t e r e n are often used (like the 
French en), as a substitute for a noun previously expressed, 
ind are sometimes rendered by some, any, and sometimes do 
not require translation (L. 39. 4.) : 

(Er Bat fein ®elb meflr, aBer id) flaBe He has no longer any money, but 
b e f f e n nodi), I still have some (of it). 

3<$ flaBe feine Silver, bu ^aft b ere n I have no books; you have (of 
ju JneL them) too many. 

6. The old form of the genitive t> e {j (for b e f f e n, as also 
tt>e$, for it) e f f e n) is still retained in several compounds, in 
the more elevated styles of composition, and in some proverb- 
ial phrases : 

(£r tft befttegen mem $einb* He is therefore my enemy. 

"£)efii rift)me ber Blut 1 ge Xyxam' ftdj Let not the bloody tyrant boast 

ttidjt." (himself) of this. 

"SB eg ba$ £er& *>oE tft, beg W* *>« Of what the heart is full, o/ ^a* 

2)?unb itBer." the mouth runs over. 

1. The neuter forms of the demonstrative pronouns (fctcf e 6 
being often contracted into "Die ^), as also ftelcfyeS in conjunc- 
tion with the verb fein (like the French ce), may refer to nouns 
of all genders, and in both numbers : 

2) i e 3 finb unferc Sreunbe. These (this) are our friends. 

SBeriftbctS? Who is that? 

2B e I d) e 3 ftnb bte Idngflen Sftddjte ? Which are the longest nights ? 

<Smb b a 3 ntdjt Ungarn? Are not those Hungarians ? 

9?ein, e 3 ftnb Socmen. (L. 28. 7.) No, they are Bohemians. 

8. With the demonstrative and determinative pronouns the 
adverb e B e n is often used : 

(£i ifl e B e n berfetBe. He is the very same. 

(£ B en btefeS £au£» This very (this same) house. 

(£Ben ber unb fein ftnberer flat mt$ Tkrf he (ho himself) and nobody 

ju eudj (jefcflicJt'* else has s mt me to you.

(£r I i e § ba$ Regiment' anruof<m. He commanded the regiment to ad

3d) m u % r)eute ger)en. I must go to-day. 

<£r tt> ii n f d) i e tt)n geljen ju laffen. He wished to let him go.

§ 74), as also of Ijetfjen (in the sense of to command), f)elfen,

3$ B)aBe nidjt geljen f onnen. I have not been able to go . 

@te I)ai e3 nidjt tl)un m 5 g en. She has not wished to do it. 

14. When the infinitive form of the participle, as above, is 
employed, it is always placed at the end of the sentence ; hence, 
the inversion usual in relative sentences does not take place : 

!5Der SWcmn, roeldjer Ijat ger)en miiffen The man who has been obliged to 

(not getyen miiffen Ijat). go. 

3d) reetp e<3 bafi er roirb fommen fiSnnen. I know that he will be able to come.

LESSON XLVII. Cection XLVII. 

IRREGULAR VERBS, OR VERBS OP THE OLD CONJUGATION. 

1. Irregular verbs are such as do not form their imperfect 
tense and past participle according to the rules in L. 31. 

For complete alphabetical list of "irregular verbs" see § 78; also, 
for further remarks on the same, § 77. 

2. The infinitive of these, as of the regular verbs, ends in e tt. 
The imperfect changes the root vowel ; and the past participle 
frequently differs from the infinitive only by the augment ge : 

Infinitive. Imperfect. Past Participle. 

gekit/ to give; id) ga&, I gave; gegekn, given, 

feljen, to see; id) feu), I saw; gefefyen, seen. 

3. In some verbs the root vowel is found to be differert m 
each of the three parts : 

ftngen, to sing; id) fang, I sang; gefungen, sung, 
fprtngert, to spring; id) fprang, I sprang; gefprungert, sprung. 

4. In other vt rbs the root vowel of the imperfect tense and 
the second participle is the same : 

fltmmen, to climb; id) flomm, I climbed; geftontmen, climbed 

5. Some verbs change the radical vowel, and also add the 
terminations common to regular verbs : 

Mttgen, to carry; id) £rad)te, I carried; geln-ad)t, carried. 
benfen, to think; id) bad)te, I thought; gebad)t, thought. 

6. The present tense forms the different persons like the 
regular verbs, except in the second and third persons singula* 
of about sixty verbs, where the root vowel is changed, or if 
capable of it, assumes the Umlaut : (see List § 78. p. 346.)

LESSON XLIX. flection XLIX 

INFINITIVE WITHOUT 3 U. 

1. When the infinitive is preceded by an auxiliary, or by 
one of the following verbs, the particle 3 u is omitted : 

6 lei ft en, to remain; tye t § e it/ to command; I ernen, to learn; 

fa l)r en, to ride; $ el fen, to help; m a d) e n, to make ; 

fitty r en, to conduct; fy.o r e n, to hear ; n en n en, to call, name;

finben, to find; Ugen, to lay; ttjun, to do; 

gefycn, togo; lefyren, to teach; retten, to ride. 

The infinitive, when dependent on the above verbs, is frequently 
best rendered by our present participle : 

S3 1 i e b er ft £ e n, ft e^e tt ober I i e «• Did he remain sitting, standing, or 

gen? lying? 

jpeip mid) ntdjt re ben, Ijetjjj mid) Do not bid me speak, bid me be

<Ste m a d) t mid) I a rf) e n. She ?'s making me Zaw#A. 

Obs. — £et§en, when used intransitively, often answers to the passive 
of to name, call, or to the noun name, with the verb to be :

redjt tfjun. do wrong, 

©einen Seutben tter&e i'6, en ift ebel. To forgive one's (his) enemies ia 

noble. 

i. The infinitive (commonly preceded by the article or a 
pronoun) is used as a neuter noun, and answers to the partici- 
pial noun in English : 

2)a$£ugett fdjabet bcm Siigner am (The) lying injures the liar the 

mcijlen. most. 

©a3 Sc fen oei ctnem fdjttadjen £id)te Reading by a feeble light is inju- 

iji ben Qlugeii fd)dblid). rious to the eyes. 

5. The infinitive with j u follows an ft at t, otjtte and urn,

LESSON L. Section L. 

PARTICIPLES AND IMPERATIVE. 

1. Present participles attributively used have the same gov- 
ernment as the verbs from which they are derived, and, when 
the object is expressed, precede it ; when predicative, however, 
their character is simply that of an adjective : 

Sftein ©olb fudjenber $reunb. My gold-seeking friend. 

T)rr il)n IoBenbe 2ef)rer. The teacher who praises him. 

Die SfuSfidjt tr»ar rei^enb. The prospect was charming. 

£)U $tjje Wax briicfenb. The heat was oppressive. 

2 The perfect participle sometimes answers to our present 
participle ; or, like many other words, it may often be varied 
or omitted in translation, according to the different idioms .. 
the two languages : 

£eulenb fommt ber "Sturm geflo'gen. — Howling comes the storm flying 

S. (flown). 

Sr tarn bie Strage fjergejo'ijen. He came (moving) along the street 

jD«§ ©clb tjl serlo'rcn gegon'gen. The money is (gone) lost. 



186 LESSON L. 

3. The past participle may be used as the imperative : 

Sflicfyt fo lavt gefprcdj'en. Do not speak so loud. 

Sleipig gearkttet. Labor diligently. 

4. There is a third or future participle formed only from 
transitive verbs by adding I) to the infinitive preceded by 3 it; 
it always has a passive signification, and implies necessity or 
obligation : 

X)te jit fiird)tcnbe ©efa$r\ The to-be-feared danger 

<Da$ ju fcauenbe &au$* The house (which is) to be fcmlt 

IMPERATIVE. 

5. When the second person of the imperative is used, the 
subject is generally omitted ; when, however, the third person 
is used, the subject is expressed : 

$ctrl, fcrhtge mir betn 93it$. Charles, bring me your book. 

Winter, ge$t in baS £au6. Children, go into the house. 

Staxl, Mttgen @te mtr 3fyr Sitdj. Charles, bring me your book. 

©cfytcEe e r bad $Pferb morgen. Send the horse to-morrow. 

©0 fet e §>, fctgte er. So be it (so let it be), said he. 

Obs.— The present indicative of the auxiliary foil en is often best 
omitted in translation, and the main verb rendered by our imperative 
(see imperative L. 38.) : 

©it foil ft e£ t $ it it. Do it yourself (you shall do it). 

2)er Solemn fott f m m e tu Ze2 John come (Aowe John come). 

6. !D ab ur dj, t>a§ before a finite verb often answers to by 
before a present participle : 

Sftcttt fdjabet eitdj baburd), ba$ man You are injured fo/being praised to- 
cud) jtt fefyr lofct. much. 

Literally y you are thereby injured, that you are too much praiseu 

S3 e i f p i e I e* Examples. 

£at er nod) ntdjt tie entfdjte'bene Sfttt* Has he not yet received the final 
.ttort erfyal'ten? (determinate) answer?

LESSON LI. Section LI. 

COMPOUND VERBS SEPARABLE. 

1. Any of the following particles may be compounded with 
a verb ; and as they may stand apart from it, they are called 
separable particles or prefixes (§ 89) ; namely, ah, from, off, 
down; a n, to, at, in, on, toward ; a U f, on, up ; clu$, out, out 
of, from ; B e i, by, near, with ; fc> a or bar, there, at ; e i it, in, 
into; e m p o r', up, upward, on high ; fort, onward, away, for 
ward ; g e g e n, toward, against ; h e i m, home, at home ; t) e r, 
hither, here ; $ i n, thither, there, away ; i n, in, within ; m i t, 
with; nctd), after; tttefc er, down, downward, under; oB, on, 
over, on account of ; ttor, before, from ; tt»eg, away, off; 3 it, 
to, toward; and gut ltd, back, backward (§ 89 — 91). 

2. In compound tenses, formed from the infinitive and an 
auxiliary, and in subordinate sentences, the particle is placed 
before the verb : 

(£r tturb Mb anfommen. He will soon arrive. 

$Btr miiffen au^ge^en (§ 93). We must go out. 

Obs. — In like manner are used with verbs several nouns (sometimes 
written with a capital and sometimes with a small initial) and adjec- 
tives; as, ba3 Concert rcirb <Statt ftnbert (or ftattfmbert), the concert will 
take place; er roirb U)m Xxq§ Meten (or troJjMeten), he will bid him de- 
fiance ; er tturb if tt tobtfdjfejjMt/ he will kill him. 



COMPOUND VERBS SEPARABLE. 189 

3. 3 U °f tne infinitive, when used, and the augment q e of 
the past participle, are placed between the particle and the 
verb : 

S3 x\t 3ett auSutgcljcn {not ju au£ger)en). It is time to go out. 

S3 \\t llnrcdjt tt)n aufutfyalten {not jju auffyalten). It is wrong to detain him. 
(£r fiat mid) aufger)atren {not ge=aufl)alten). He has detained me. 

<&k fmb an^gegangen {not ge=*an3gangen). They have gone out, 

Obs. - -Verbs derived from compound nouns or adjectives, follow the 
conjugation of simple verbs, i. e. take the augment, and ju of the infin- 
itive, before the entire word ; as, er |ttt gefritr)frucft, he has breakfasted; 
cS ijl fd>»« ju fjanbljakn, it is difficult to manage; e3 v at geroetterleud)tet, 
it has lightened. 

4. In principal sentences and simple tenses the particle is 
placed at the end of the sentence : 

2)ie ©afie foinmen ekn a n. The guests are just arriving. 

SBarum' gcfyen <Ste ait 3 ? Why are you going out ? 

(£r Brad) bte Slume a t>. He broke off the flower. 

-£>tett cr ben 33oten ait f? Did he detain the messenger ? 

5. When one of these particles is prefixed to a verb not 
accented on the first syllable, 3 u of the infinitive follows the 
prefix, and the augment Q e is rejected : 

(£r iff ju jtolj e3 an*$ u^erfennen. He is too proud to acknowledge it 

(£r f;at e3 an^erfannt. He has acknowledged it. 

6. These compounds generally take a signification different 
from, but often kindred to that of the components used separ- 
ately : 

3d) fter)e mcincnt Sveurtbe f) e t. I assist (stand by) my friend. 

3d) ftefje fc e t metnem grcunbe. I stand by (near) my friend. 

(Er ftellte fid) mir J) r. He introduced himself to me. 

(£r ftellte fid) » r mid). He placed himself before me. 

23 1 i f p t e 1 e ♦ Examples. 

tfautt er ben (Stein aitft)eoeit ? Can he lift up the stone ? 

(£r §efct ben ©tein auf. He lifts the stone up. 

(Bte foflten i v n ntd)t auftyalten. You should not detain him. 

(Er mag nid)t etnfd)lafen. He does not wish to go to sleep, 

<Sie ftnb e3, ber mid) aitfijalt. It is you who detain me. 

(Er t|T fcofe, r»eit <Sie au§get)en. He is angry because you go out. 
©ie tfr traurtg, roeit er bte SBIume ab« She is sad because le broke off the

LESSON LII. £ectiotl LII. 

ADVERBS. 

1. The adverbs b a, there ; b o rt, yonder ; fy i e r, here, and 
too, where, are used with verbs of rest, or with those indicat- 
ing action within specified limits : 

SBer ifr b a ? £ i e r jle$e id). Who is there ? Here I stand. 

2)0 rt fpielen bie itirtber; W o ftnb ble Yonder the children are playing, 
©Item ? where are the parents ? 

2. £et, hither, and X) in, thither, when compounded with 
other words, as b a, etc. (§91) still retain their distinctive mean- 
ings; fier indicating motion or tendency toward, and I) in, 
from the speaker. As, however, these particles in compounds 
have no precise equivalents in English, their force is often lost 
in translating : 

2Ber tjl b a, unb tt>er gefjt b at) in' ? Who is there, and who goes thither? 

SBIeiBe $ i e r, crtoirb balb $ terser' Remain here, he will soon com© 

fommett. here (hither). 

SB c ift ber STmtmcmn, unb xo if) i n' Where is the magistrate, and where 

ge$t CT? (whither) is he going? 



192 LESSON LII. 

Direction toward the speaker. 

(Sr [prang % e ran 3'. He sprang out (hither). 

(Sr [tteg tj erauf. He ascended (hither). 

(Sr fteigt §era£'. He descends (hither). 

(Er fam § e r u n' t e r . He came down (hither). 

(Er ruberte ju unS $ e r it' h e r. He rowed across (hither) to us. 

Direction from the speaker. 

(Er fpr<utg t) i n a it 3\ He sprang out (thither). 

(Er ftieg 1} i t a u f . He ascended (thither). 

(Et ftetgt $ t n a b\ He descends (thither). 

(Ex ging fy i n n n't e r. He went down (thither). 

(Er ruberte ju i^nen § in it '6 e r. He rowed across (thither) to them. 

3. £ e r and $ i n are often separated from \v o, and placed 
at the end of the sentence. They are also sometimes used with 
verbs of rest ; t) in, in the signification of past, gone ; and % er, 
denoting proximity : 

SB o gel) en <5ie fy t n ? Whither are you going? 

2B o fommt er f) e r ? TFAmce is he coming? 

£)er ©ommer ifl [djon | in. The summer is already past. 

<Sie jtanben urn ifyn fy e r. They stood round about him. 

4. These compounds after the dative preceded by a prepo- 
sition, or after the accusative, are usually rendered by a prep- 
osition before the objective : 

(Sr flog jum genjrer §tnau§\ He flew out of the window. 

<Ste famen bte Sreppe fyerun'ter. They came down the stairs. 

FORMATION OF ADVERBS. 

5. Adverbs are formed by the union of nouns with nouns, 
nouns with pronouns, nouns with adjectives, nouns with prep- 
ositions, adverbs with prepositions and prepositions with prep- 
ositions : 

<S>d)aarenr»et[e, in hordes; (©djaar, horde; 2Bet[e, manner). 

©IMUdjerroetfe, or ) f orttmate i y . (glMUd), fortunate ; SBeife, man 

©liicHt^er S03ei[f, f ' ner). 

CSMnerfeitS, for my part; (metn, my; ©eite, side). 

<5tromau[, upstream; ((Strom, stream; au[, up). 

SBoburd), whereby; (wo, where; burd), through) 

UekrauS/ exceedingly; (itBer, above; au$, out of). 



ADVERBS. 



193 



6. Adverbs are formed from various parts of speech by 
means of the suffixes Hdj, Hrtgg, fodrt3, sS (§ 103-106) : 

tdgltd), daily; blinbltngS, blindly; CUfiDCtrtS, upward; 

flug3, suddenly; rcd)tv, to the right; linU, left (to the left); 

morgeng, in the morning, ctBenb£, in the evening ; aubertf, otherwise.

COLLOCATION OF WORDS. 
WORDS REQUIRING THE VERBS AT THE END OP THE SENTENCE. 

1. When the subordinate clause is introduced by either of 
the following words, the verb (as with the relative pronoun L. 
39. 5.) is placed at the end of the sentence ; namely : 

51 ( d, when, than ; b e o o r, e % e, before ; Bid, till ; b a, since j 
b a mit, in order that ; b a fj, that ; f all d, if, in case; ittb e m, 
while, in that ; i ttf o f e r it, (with aid implied) in so far; j e (L. 
82.11.) n ad) bent, after that, when ; 0, whether, if; feit, 
fe it bent, since; fo, thus, if; otyngeadjtet or ungeadjtet, 
notwithstanding ; to a tj r e n b, while ; to a tt tt, when ; to a r tt ttt, 
why ; to e i I (bietoeil) because ; to e n tt, if ; to i e, as, when ; 
to o, where, if.

fern, if, in case that ; <mf tag, so that; ati 06 and aU mnn, as if. 

Obs. — 2Bcnn.au*, roenn gletdj and roenn fdjon, though often rendered 
although, (like 06 roof)t, and the words preceding it) are more strongly 
concessive than the former, and usually best rendered by even though. 

WORDS FOLLOWED BY THE CORRELATIVE © 0. 

2. £a, oBgleid), oBfdjon, oBttof)!, totil, ttemt and mie are usually 
followed by the correlative fo at the head of a succeeding 
clause : 

£) a tdj etnmal fyter bin, f o roifl id) and) Since I am (once) here I will (also) 

bletben. remain.

THE CORRELATIVE © FOLLOWED BY £)0(fy OR 1) e tt It (fy. 

3. When o B Q I e t d), or either of the concessive conjunctions, 
stands at the head of thej^rs^ sentence, the correlative f o, of 
the next, is usually followed by b o d) or b e nrt o d):

Obs. — SScnn, however, is often omitted and the verb placed before its 
subject: 
3ft e£ S^nen mogltdj, fo !ommen ©te. If it is possible (for you, then) come. 

4. 5lBer, aMtt, betm, enttteber, ober, niimlicB, fonbern and unb, 
do not change the natural order of the sentence : 

®ie tji ntdjt fdjim, a$er fie tlUteoenS* She is not beautiful but she is 
rourbig. amiable. 



19(5 lesson Lin. 

5. When a sentence begins with any c ther word than its 
subject, except as already specified, the main verb, or its aux- 
iliary, usually precedes the subject. For the sake of special 
emphasis, the verb, followed by an adversative clause, may be 
placed at the head of the sentence : 

Sffiarum fyat er nid)t gelefen? Why has he not read ? 

©elefen fyat er, after rtid)t laut. He has read, but not loud. 

Dentt ifm $afce id) klei'bigt. For him have I offended. 

X) ie fen SKann fame id), after ienen|aoe This man I know, but that one I 

id) trie gefetyen. never have seen. 

Sanger fann id) nict)t roarten. Longer I can not wait, 

©a liegt Sfrr 23ud). Here lies your book. 

Obs. — As the same word may be an adverb or a conjunction, it may 
require the construction of the relative sentence, or the inversion of 
subject and verb: 

2) a fommt 3ft,r Sretmb. There comes your friend, 

©a Sfyr $retmb fommt/ fo rciH id) As your friend is coming I will 

marten, wait. 

SDamit bin id) jufrteben. With that I am satisfied, 

©amit id) nid)t jit gefjen firaudje, ger)t In order that I may not need to 

er felftfr. go he goes himself. 

6. Sometimes a causal conjunction in a leading clause is best 
omitted in translating : 

(£r if! bej^alo unjufrieben, roeil fetrt He is ( — ) discontented because his 
Sreunb nid)t $ier ift. friend is not here. 

7. Adverbs (except gcmtg) precede the adjectives and ad- 
verbs which they qualify : 

(£3 tjr fdjon jiemlid) fait. It is already pretty cold, 

©er $ut tjr groji genug. The hat is large enough. 

8. Adverbs follow the verbs that they qualify (in compound 
tenses the first auxiliary); those of time preceding those of 
place : 

(£r roar gejtern fjter. He was here yesterday. 

<Sie fommen oft ju imS. They often come to our house. 

(£r roirb morgen fyier fein. He will be here to-morrow. 

SBir ftefu'djen ifyn oft, after er oefu'djt We often visit him, but he never

(£r roirb biefen Slftenb nad) ber ©tabt He will drive to th« city this after 

fafcren. noon. 



COLLOCATION OF WORDS. 



197 



9. Adverbs of time precede the object (except wnen it is a 
personal pronoun) ; while those of manner, referring exclu- 
sively to the verb, commonly follow the object : 

Sr mad)te gefrern fetne STr&eit feljr He did his work yesterday very 

fd)tedjt. badly. . 

(£r $at gejl*m fcine Slrfcett fe^r fd)tec6t He has done his work (yesterday)

LESSON LIV. Uctwn LIV. 

COMPOUND VERBS INSEPARABLE. 

1. The unaccented particles Be, cmp, ent, er, ge, mtj}, ser, \v\* 
fcer and jer, when prefixed to verbs, reject the augment ( $ e) in 
the past participle, and take before them 3 u of the infinitive : 

<£r Ijat fctn £>aug serfauft. He has sold his house. 

(£r (jat cut £aug ju ttcrfaufen. He has a house to sell. 

2Bte fcat man eud) entfefangen? How were you received? 

<Dag $at mtr nie gefjort'. That has never belonged to me, 

£)u fyafi ben ©piegel jerfcro'dfoen. You have broken the mirror. 

- For a more complete survey 01 the above particles than could here 
be properly introduced, see § 95. and following. 

2. £unfc, through ; Winter, behind ; iifccr, over; unt, around; 
itntcr, under; soil, full; Briber, against; nrieter, again, back, 
when accented, are separable, and when unaccented, insepar- 
able : 

(Er ttnebertyo'Ite roag er geljort $atte. He repeated what he had heard. 
Sr tyotte bag 23udj toieber. He brought the book again. 

Da^ Staffer iji burd)getaufen. The water has run through. 

3. The particle mijj, in some words, takes the accent, and, 
in the infinitive and past participle, is treated like other sepa- 
rable particles : 

©g tyat mijj'getontj eg fdjeint mtput* It has sounded wrong ; it seems to 
tonen. sound wrong (mis-sound). 

4. In some verbs the augment is used before the prefix mifj 
(but is oftener wholly rejected) : 

©tc fyt&en t§n gemi^'^anbeU (or mijj* They have maltreated (abused) 
fym'belt. him. 

S3 e I f p i e 1 c . Examples.

203 



3d) Ij5rte, bag er fein ©eft serloren I heard (as a report) that he had 
f) a b e {subjunctive). lost his money. 

Here the allusion is to the report merely, without implying on the 
part of the speaker any opinion as to its truth. But if, on the contrary, 
the indicative is used, the report is assumed to be true ; 
3d) b^rte bag er fein ©elb serloren I heard (the fact) that he has lost 

$at. his money. 

2. In this mode our imperfect and pluperfect are often ren- 
dered by the present and perfect :

stead o/*f)dtte). ney. 

Sftan gtaubte, er §afce baS ©elb ge* It -was thought he had (has) stolen

3. The subjunctive is often used, especially in the third per 
son, and sometimes in the first person plural, in the signifiea 
tion of the imperative :

FOKMATION OF THE SUBJUNCTIVE. 

Present Tense. 

4. The present subjunctive of all verbs is formed by suffix- 
ing to the root, e for the first and third person singular, and 
e ft for the second ; the first and third person plural add e n, 
and the second e t : 

tdj lo6-e, mir Ico-en j td) wott-e, mie foott-en ; 
on lob-eft, i$r lofc-et; bn tooll-eft, il)i »ott-etj 
er loo-e, fie loo-en, er tootf-e, fie wofl-en. 
Imperfect Tense. 

5. In regular verbs the imperfect of the subjunctive differs 
from that of the indicative in taking e before the endings t e, 
t e ft, ten and tet (L. 37. X. 8.): 

Indicative. Subjunctive. 

id) loo-te, toir loo-ten ; id) loo-e-te, toir foB-e-ten ; 
bn lo£-teft, i^r too-tet; bn loo-e-teft, tfyr lob-e-tetj 
er loo-te, fie loo-tcn. er loo-e-te, fie loo-e-ten. 

6. Irregular verbs add e to the form of the indicative, and 
usually take the Umlaut, if capable of it : 

Indicative. Subjunctive. 

td) gab, rotr gaBen; id) gaoe, totr gaocn; 

bn gaoft, if>r gabt; t>u gabeft, itjr gaoet; 

er gab, fie gaben. er gabe, fie gaben. 

The other tenses are formed by means of auxiliaries. For complete 
list of irregular verbs see p. 346; also, remarks § 77.

le is employed where a condition is 
supposed which is regarded as doubtful or impossible : 

3d) Wiirbe fetbjt getyen, Wenn id) nidjt I would go myself if I were not 

fo alt ware. so old.

(Sie wiirben eg getfyan fyaben, wenn fie They would have done it, if they 

ba gewefen wdren. had been there. 

2. For the above forms of the conditional, the imperfect and 
pluperfect of the subjunctive are often substituted; ft e tin 
being omitted, and the subject preceded by the verb : 

SDaS Ware fd)5ner, Ware eg tlidjt fo That were more beautiful, were it 

grofi ; instead of not so large; instead of

Obs. — To give additional prominence to what may be regarded aa 

extraordinary, the imperfect of the indicative is sometimes substituted 

for the conditional :

IMPERSONAL VERBS. 

1. Besides the verbs denoting natural phenomena (as, eS bon^ 
ttert, e3 regnet, etc.) which in both languages are alike imper- 
sonal (§ 88), there are many verbs in German impersonally 
used, for which the neuter or passive form is required in Eng- 
lish : 

eg $at ftarf gerepet. It has rained hard. 

eg iagelt unb fd)nett. It hails and snows. 

eg nad)tet fd)on. It is already growing dark (night). 

eg grauet mir »or tym, bettor* I have a horror of him, of it. 

eg gelujlettf)mnacf) Wttem ttag er fte$t. He covets every thing that he sees 

eg freut mid). I am glad, lit. it rejoices me. 

eg fjungert unb burftet ung. We are hungry and thirsty. 

eg tft mtr tnit btefer ©ctdje emfr. I am in earnest in this matter 

eg gelctng or glMte tym eg ju t^im. He succeeded in doing it.

2)a3 biinft mir bod) ju gra^ltd). That really seems to me too hor« 

rible. 

4. ©efcen, impersonally used, indicates existence in a general 
and indefinite manner, and is rendered by to be; the object of

SBa3 tfbt% roarum laufen @ic ? "What's the matter, why do you run? 

5. §e$Ien, gebrec&ett and mcmgeln are often used impersonally, 
generally followed by the dative of a person, with the dative 
of a thing ; the latter being governed by a n : 

(£3 fer)tte it)m nidjt an gutem SBillen. He was not lacking in good will.

gebredicn." nothing. 

Sin SebenSmitteln mangett e$ i"t)nen. There is a lack (scarcity) of provi 

sions with them. 

6. Verbs, intransitive as well as transitive, are frequently 
used impersonally and reflexively, to denote an action in pro- 
gress, or what is customary : 



(E$ fragt fid), ob er e$ roirb tfun fort*

PROPER AND COMMON NAMES. 

1. The proper and common names of places and countries, 
as also of months, are placed in apposition : 

£>te £5tabt $iund)en ifl bie ^auptflabt The city (of; Munich is the capital 
beS $ontgreic§§ Sktern. of the kingdom (of) Bavaria. 

©er 9#onat yjlaxij ifl fturmifdj unb im=> The month of March is stormy and 
cmgcne^m. disagreeable. 

2. The date of the month (without a preposition intervening) 
precedes its name : 

Tit ^ad)t stttfcfyen bent ijterten unb The night between the fourth and 
fiinften STprtl Wax ju btefem flropen fifth of April wa3 designated for 
Unternetymen fcefiimmt. — ©♦ the execution of this great un- 

dertaking. 

3. Nouns denoting weight, measure, quantity and kind 
usually stand in the same case as those that they limit. When 
followed by nouns in the plural, the feminine takes the plural 
form, while those of the masculine and neuter retain that of 
the singular : 

<Sr faufte etne Sffc Sudjimb jwci Sffcn He bought an oil of cloth and two 
<£eibe, cin $Pfunb flcf ee unb jtnei ells of silk, one pound of cotee

ADJECTIVES WITH THE DATIVE. 

1. The dative is governed by many adjectives, and is then 
usually rendered by our objective preceded by to or for; some- 
times by other prepositions. The dative generally precedes 
the adjective by which it is governed : 

(£3 ijl ben SKenfdjen Ietdjtcr ju fdjmet* It is easier for man to flatter than 

djeht aU jit lo&en. — 9t. to praise. 

SBefj 1 £)em, ber ju ber SBatyrfjeit gefyt "Woe to him who comes to the tmth 

burd) <Sd)utb; ftc tturb u)m tummer* through guilt, it can never be a

(£3 ijl mir erinnerltdj. I can remember it. 

(£3 ijl mir wwergejjjtid). I can not forget it.

%d)lt fceftcttyrt bte ftnbltdj reine from guilt and error, prese/vea 

©eele. — <S. his soul pure as a child. 

2. The dative is often substituted for a possessive pronoun, 
or for the gen'tive of a noun : 




HE GENITIVE.

ing in the hall. 

£cr ©ptT^^^B^MtP^iBnin- utr The god of victory walks at her 
©cite. — £>. side. 

3. The first and second persons of pronouns, in the dative, 
ate often used to indicate, in an indefinite manner, some special 
participation or sympathy on the part of the individuals which 
they represent : 

G? ftnb (5ud> gar trofcige Jlamcra'ben. They are right insolent fellows (for 

— <5. you). 

"IDamalo ttaren ttnr bir fe$r »er" At that time we were very joyous. 

gniigt'." 

4. The dative, with Bet, Son and 3 it, often denotes one's 
place of residence or business, and is rendered by our possess- 
ive preceded by at, from or to : 

2)er Mantel ijr be im ©djnctber* The cloak is at the tailor's. 

<£r gefyt j u feinem Db,etm. He is going to his uncle's. 

€>te fommt son ir)rcr Xante. She is coming from her aunt's. 

The dative of the personal pronouns is used in the same manner ; 
usually rendered by the possessive case of our pronoun followed by a 
noun: 

<5te ttotynen bet imS. They live at our house. 

2Bir gefyen t)eutc ju tfjm. "We are going to his house to-day.

LESSON LXIV. Cection LXIV. 

VERBS WITH THE DATIVE. 

1. The dative is governed : 

a. By transitive verbs, which in addition to the direct ob- 
ject (in the accusative), require the object to be specified, for 
or in relation to which an action is performed. In this use, 
as also with gefibrert, fd)eincn and nmtften, the dative is rendered 
by our objective with a preposition expressed or implied : 

(£r naljm e$ u)nen tteg. He took it away from them. 

©tefer £itt gefyort mir. This hat belongs to me. 

b. Many German verbs are called intransitive, and. govern 
the dative, whose English equivalents are transitive, and gov- 
ern the objective ; as, antttortert, Befe^ten, Begegrtett, bemfen, bte^ 
lien, broken, fel)len, fhtcfyen, fofgen, frozen, frommen, geBiifyren 
gefatlen, gdjorcfyen, gercic^en, gleid^en, ^elfen, IjulDtgen, lotjnen, man 
geln, ndjen, mtijen, paffert, ratten, fdjaben, fdbmet^eln, trauen, tro^ 
fcen, roe^ren, aiemett: 

SBcr Mr ftfymetdjett, fdjabet Mr, icerm He who flatters you injures you, 
bit u)m glctufcjL. if you believe him. 

c. With the impersonally used verbs e$ at)ttet, e$ bautft, e3 



238 less 




tiinft, t$ cleft, e3 gvcmt, es fd)iinnMtji 
e3 ift, the dative is frequently rendel 

$pret, tt>a$ mtr getraumt tyat. — Gen. Hear what Iliave dreamed (bear, 
xxxvii. 6. I pray you, this dream which I 

have dreamed). 

d. Intransitive verbs, governing the dative, take, when used 
passively, the impersonal form; the logical subject being put 
in the dative, in which position (like the impersonal verbs, 
see c.) it is rendered by the nominative: 

(£3 tourbe if)m (or ifjm tturbe) gefdjabeU He was injured. 

S)eimod) ttuvbe bem Slbet md)r gefdmtei" Still, to the nobility, there was ac- 

djelt, aU nnrflitf)er ©utfluj? gegeben* corded more of flattery than of 

— ©♦ actual influence. 

2. Some verbs govern the dative or the accusative, accord 
ing to their signification : 

2Bir riefen tfynen, after fie Morten un3 We called them (to them) but they 

ntcfyt. did not hear us. 

S©tr riefen fie in bctS £ctu$* "We called them into the house. 

3. $ oft en is generally used with a dative and accusative; 
sometimes, however, with two accusatives : 

"(5$ nnirbe ^rettjett mtr unb Sefien It would cost me freedom and life. 

fcften." 

S3 eifpiele. Examples.

and never refers, like other, to indefinite past time : 

<Et geljt itkrmorgen unb rotr ben an* He goes the day after to-morrow 

bern Sag. ■ and we the next day. 

T>er 9ftamt, ber »or einigen £agen fjier The man that was here the othei 

BKtti ift franf. day (a few days ago) is sick. 

a. Instead of ctttber, as the equivalent of other, in denot- 
ing something additional, the adverb nod) is employed : 

Stfimm n o dj einen SWarUel/ einer t|l Take another cloak (in addition to 
nid)t genug. this), one is not enough. 

11 



242 LESSON 

SRimm eineit anbern Sftantef, btefer tfl Take another cioak (in sl^i if this), 
$u burnt, this is too Gi^ - # 

b. The adverb embers, otherwise, differently, else, sometimes 

occurs in the signification of namely, that is : 

?S?er cinett Sroetf toiU, ntu§ au&) bte He who wishes a result must also 
SWittel rooften, tt>emt er anberS »er* wish for the means, that is, if 
fidnbto, ift« — ®el. (provided) he is judicious. 

2. 23 e t fc e, unlike both, may refer to objects taken separately ; 
*\ ith mcl)t or feirt, ft e i £ e often answers to neither, lot either : 

'iorge fur bte ®efunbr)ett beine3 Set* Take care of the health of (thy) 

beS unb betner <Seele, aber serjartle body and soul, but do not parxx-

©r tturb fcineS son beiben faufen. He will buy neither of them. 

3. In referring to two things, different in kind, the neuter 
form singular, b e i b e 3, is often employed : 

(£r tjatte ben OUna, nnb bte $eber, aber He had the ring and the pen, but 
er t)at betbeS serloren. he has lost both. 

<Ste irren fid), benn beibeS Itegt auf You mistake (yourself), for both are 
feinem £ifd)e« (each is) lying on his table. 

4. S t ft) a 3 is sometimes used before nouns in the singular, 
and before adjectives, in the signification of a little, somewhat: 

©ie bradjten t$tn ettt>a3 Sjftild). They brought him a little milk, 

©te £age tt)crben etttaS longer* The days are getting somewhat 

longer. 

5. @ (5tfad3 signifies such a thing, something of the kind: 

3d) fyttte fdjott fo (Ettt>a3 0e|)ort, e$e er I had (already) heard something of 
onfant. the kind before he arrived. 

6. 3 V g e it b denotes great indefiniteness ; it is often fol 

lowed by the indefinite article, and generally rendered any, 

some, whatever : 

(Er ^cttte immer trgenb etne unangenef)* He always had some disagreeable 
me SBa^rbett auf ber £h)pe* — J?be. truth on his lips (lip). 

7. 33iel and ftuntg, in referring to a quantity, or to a 
number taken collectively, are not usually inflected, except when 
preceded by the definite article, or an adjective pronoun : 

£>er Siingltng f)at fern $iele3 ©elb unb The youth has lost his large sum 
fetne stelen Sreunbe serloren. of money and his many frienda. 

2Bie »tel U^r if* e3 ? What o'clock is it ? 

In the last example the phrase, in German as u Englisl*, is abbre- 



•fflfcFlNITE NUMERALS. 243 

viated ; the full form being, ttie ttiet auf ber ttr)r if! e3 ? how much of 
the clock (o'clock) is it \ The time may be reckoned either from a pre- 
ceding or a following hour : 

23 ij! cm 2.Herfe( nad) bm; or It is a quarter past three; or 

(££ ij! cin Snertel a u f xucr. It is a quarter on (or toward) four. 

(£3 fcMt cin SSiertel anfordU) ad)L It lacks a quarter to eight ; or 

(£3 ift bret 23iertel auf adjt. It is | toward 8 (£ e., it lacks \ of 8). 

After r)alfc, auf is omitted; as, e3 ij! I) all) ad)t, it is half (toward) 
eight; i. e., half past seven. 

8. 33 t e I and xo e n i $ are declined, when they refer to a 

Lumber taken as individuals ; or substantively to persons; and. 

often, when preceded in the singular by prepositions : 

Side 5)icnfd)en trinfert feinen SBein. Many men drink no wine. 
SBenige 2ftenfd)cn fiub ganj jufrieben. Few men are perfectly contented.

the definite article, or a possessive pronoun : 

Unfere ntctjren Seiben ftnb bie $olge Most of our sufferings are the con- 
unfercr eigncn Scaler. sequence of our own errors. 

11. 21 lie, all, in some phrases, is equivalent to all gone, 
spent, wasted; with 6 e i t» e it does not require translation : 
<Sein ©elb ij! a lie. His money is all gone. 

SI 1 1 e 33 c t b e voaren franf. Both (of them) were sick. 

12. The plural of all, applied to divisions of time, answers

week, etc., is rendered by g an$ : 

(Sr gc()t a lie Sage. He goes every day (all days). 

6r roar ben ga nj e it Sag §ier. He was here all (the whole) day

§ 2. Derivation and composition. 

(1) In respect to derivation, all German words are divi- 
sible into three classes : Primitives, Derivatives and Compounds. 

(2) The Primitives, which are also called roots or radicals. 
are all verbs ; forming the basis of what are now generally called 
the irregular verbs, and of about fifty, or sixty others, which 
were once irregular in conjugation, but are so no longer. They 
ire also all monosyllables ; and are seen in the crude form, (so 
to speak,) by merely dropping the suffix (e n) of the Infinitive 
mood : thus, fcinb(en,) to bind ; fd)liejj(en,) to close ; fangfen, ) 
to catch. 

(3) From the primitives, sometimes with, sometimes with- 
out, any change in, or addition to the crude form, comes a 
numerous train of derivatives : chiefly nouns and adjectives. 

Thus, from £inb(en,) to bind, we get ber 33 a nb, the volume, 
and ber 53 u n^, the league, where the derivatives are pro- 
duced by a mere vowel change. The derivative is, also, often 
distinguished by a mere euphonic, or orthographic termination : 
changing the form indeed, but in no wise affecting th«* sense. 
The terminations employed, in this way, are e r, e I, c it, e, b e, 
t e and c t ) thus, from fprecft(ett,) to speak, comes bie ©!pr a dj c. 
jeech; language. In some cases, moreover, in forming de- 
rivatives, the syllable ge (without meaning) is prefixec? ; as, 

mf, sure; certain; ber ©efcmg, the song. 

The inflection of all parts of speech, except the Verb, is, in Grammar, 
led declension : the regular arrangement of the moods, tenses, numbers, 

Eersons, and participles of a verb, is called Conjugation : in a ger.eral way, 
owever, all words capable of inflection are said to be declinable. The f>- 
lechnable parts of speech are often called Particles. 

263 



264 ETYMOLOGY. § 2. 

(4) But there is another and a most extensive class of de» 
rivatives, sometimes called secondary derivatives formed by 
the union of radical * words with suffixes, that are significant : 
thus, from t)etlig, (Aoty, sacred ;) vve get by adding e tt, the 
verb ^eilicjcn, to make holy ; to consecrate. The suffixes of 
this class (the significant ones) are, however, most of them, 
used in forming nouns and adjectives. They will be found ex- 
plained under those heads respectively. Several of them are 
the same inform exactly as the terminations mentioned above, 
as being often added to primary derivatives. From these, 
that is, from the merely orthographic endings, the significant 
suffixes are to be carefully distinguished. 

(5) Among the secondary derivatives must, also, be in- 
cluded those formed by means of prefixes as well as suffixes. 
These are mainly verbs, and are treated somewhat at large 
under the head of Compound Verbs. 

(6) In respect to compounds, properly so called, that is, 
words formed by the union, not of prefixes and suffixes with 
radicals, but of radicals, or other independent words, one with 
another, the German is peculiarly rich. Not only is it rich in 
the abundance of such compounds already in use ; but it 
possesses a rare facility of forming them, as occasions arise, 
out of its own resources. 

(1) In forming these compounds, the two components are 
often merely joined together as one word ; as Ufytmadjer, (from 
tU;t, a clock or watch, and 2ftacfyer, a maker.) But in numerous 
cases, the union is marked by the insertion of certain letters, 
which may be called letters of union : thus, 

£)ie £ob c 8 nofl), (from $ob, death and Sfotr), need, agony;) the 

death-agony ; 
$>a3 .gimmet 3 Iidjt, (from ^Mantel, heaven and Sidelight;) the 

light of heaven ; 
£)ie «§erj e n § cji'tte, (from ^erj, heart, and ®iite, goodness ;) the 

goodness of heart; 

* The word radical, however, in this place, is designed to indicate any 
word capable of assuming a suffix. In this looser sense, the word is often 
employed for the sake of convenience. 



PARTS OF SPEECH. § 3. 265 

$er $ferb e av$, (from $ferb, horse, and Qtrgt, doctor;) the 

horse-doctor ; 
£>a§ <§'vct e n keen, (from <|Mri, shepherd, and £euen, life ;) the 

pastoral-life ; 
3>er G?t e r fucfyen, (from (Si, egg, and Jtud)en, cake;, the 

omelet. 

(8) Some of these letters of union are nothing more than 
the signs of the genitive case of the first component : others 
are mere euphonic additions. 

(9) In some instances, the union of the parts of a com- 
pound is characterized by the omission of some letters ; as, 
ber @onntag, (<Sonn e, the Sun, and Sag, day;) Sunday ; UnU 
tourbig, (benf c n, to think, and toutbig, worthy ;) worthy of 
thought. 

(10) In all compounds, finally, the main accent falls upon 
the first component which, also, always qualifies or defines the 
second, as containing the fundamental idea. 

§ 3. Parts of speech. 

( 1 ) The parts of speech in German are usually reckoned ten : 
Articles, Verbs, 

Nouns, or Substantives, Adverbs, 

Adjectives, Prepositions, 

Numerals, Conjunctions, 

Pronouns, Interjections. 

(2) Of these, six, namely, Articles, Nouns, Adjectives. 
Numerals, Pronouns and Verbs, are capable of inflection ; that 
is, admit of various changes of termination by which various 
modifications of meaning are expressed: the other four, namely, 
Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions and Interjections, are in 
form invariable. 

(3) All parts of speech capable of inflection have two 
numbers : the singular, which denotes but one, and the plu- 
ral, which denotes more than one. 

(4) All parts of speech capable of inflectior., except the 
*erb, have four cases; namely the nominative, genitive, 

12 



266 THE ARTICLE. § 4. 

dative and accusative: also, three genders; namely, the ma* 
culine, the feminine and the neuter. 

(5) Cases are variations made in the form of a word, to in- 
dicate its several relations to other words : the nominative being 
that form which denotes the subject of a verb; the genitive that 
which is chiefly used in signifying source or possession ; the 
dative that which indicates the person or thing for or to whom 
or which any thing is directed ; and the accusative that which 
points to the immediate or direct object of an action. 

The cases in German correspond well to those in the Latin 
language. The Vocative, however, is never counted, because 
it is the same exactly in form with the nominative ; while the 
Ablative (as in Greek,) is wholly wanting: its place being ge- 
nerally supplied by the Dative (with a suitable preposition). 

§ 4. The article. 

(1) There are two articles in German : the Definite, bet, 
the; and the Indefinite, em, a, or an. They are inflected 
thus . 

Singular. Plural. 

Masculine. Feminine. Neuter. For all genders. 

Norn. £)er, bie, ba$, the ; Norn. £)ie, the ; 

Gen. <De$, ber, be3, of the ; Gen. * 3)er, of the ; 

Dat. 5Dem, ber, bent, to, or for the; Dat. £) en, to, or for the; 
Ace JDen, bie, baS, the. Ace. £)ie, the. 

Singular. Plural. 

Masc. Fern. Neut. For all genders. 

Norn. (8m, etne, em, an, or a ; N. ") 

Gen. (StneS, einer, eincS, of an, or a ; G.I Wantmo> 

Dat. (Sinem, enter, etnem, to, or for an, or a; D. f °* 

Ace. (Stnen, eine, em, an, or a. A. J 

(2) In familiar style, certain prepositions are frequently 
contracted with the dative and accusative of the definite article 
into one word.

§ 5. Nouns. 

(1) In German, as in English, the nouns, that is, the names 
of persons and things, are divided into two great classes • 
viz : Common nouns, which designate sorts, kinds, or classes 
of objects ; and Proper nouns, which are peculiar to indi- 
viduals. 

(2) Under the head of common nouns * are commonly 

* I. In German all Nouns, as also all parts of speech when used as 
nouns begin with a capital letter- Ex. : 1. Ter ©Phit, the son ; tie Xocfcfer, 
the daughter. I. Dec ©ute, the good (man) ; Me @ufe, the good (woman). 
3. 5>a§ "Singeu, the singing. 

11. The Indefinite Pronouns. Ex.: Semaift, (any body, somebody). 
Sktermann, (every body). (£tiv«§, (anything, something), and 9itct;tS, 
(nothing). 

Note, that when (StWd § and 91 t cb H are connected with a noun, or 
with an adjective used as a noun they do not begin with a capital. Ex. : 
(S'r hat etroai 33n>b # he has some bread; it b,iU utd)tS ®ute$, he has 
nothing good. 

III. The absolute Possessive Pronouns (when used substantively. L 
35. 2.) h^x. : Tie JDteinwen, (my family ; bae dtteiiiige, (my property). 

IV. The Indefinite Numerals, when used without a substantive. Ex.; 
$lUe8, 51Ue, (all. ; (Stnige, (some) ; 'Siauriw, (many a); ^iele, (many). 



268 GENDER. § 6. 

included se^ eral subdivisions ; as Collective nouns, wliicli are 
the names oi" a plurality of individuals considered as unity ; and 
abstract nouns, which are the names of certain qualities, or 
attributes regarded as separate from any given substance. 

(3) The nouns, both common and proper, as before said, 
are regularly inflected : exhibiting thus by means of termina- 
tions the several modifications of gender, number, and case. 
The numbers and cases will be made sufficiently clear under 
the head of declension of nouns. We here introduce the sub- 
ject of 

§ 6. Gender. 

(1) Strictly speaking, the masculine gender belongs ex- 
clusively to words denoting males ; the feminine to those de- 
noting females ; and the neuter to such only as, are neither male, 
nor female. And in English, accordingly, with very little ex- 
ception, this is found to be actually the case. 

(2) Not so, however, in German; for there the names of 
many things without life, from their real, or supposed posses- 
sion of qualities pertaining to things with life, are considered 
and treated as masculine, or feminine. Often, moreover, words 
indicating things without life, are deemed masculine or feminine 
merely from some resemblance in form to those designating 
things properly male or female. Hence arises, in Grammar, 
the distinction between the natural and the grammatical gender 
of words. 

(3) Were the natural gender alone regarded, it would be 
necessary only to know the meaning of a word, to know its 
gender ; but since this is not the case, we are often obliged to 
determine gender chiefly by the form. We give below, 
therefore, the principal Rules for determining the gender in 

V. The Personal Pronouns, S5tt, 3()V, (thou, you), &c., when we would 
distinguish thereby the person addressed. 

VI. (Sin, when an adjective, and likewise, when pronoun as distinguished

£ui§ (Sine -4>fevb ift bltub, bag anbeve i]t labjn, the one horse is blind, the 
vxther i9 lame. 

VII. Adjectives derived from names of persons. Ex : 5; a 8 Sdnfierfcbe 
£)<ni6. Observe that adjectives derived from the names of countries do not 
begin with a capital. Ex.: 3>r beutfdie -Bm\b, the German caifederacy. 2)i?

§ 8. Gender of compounds and foreign -words 

(1) Compounds in general adopt the gender of their last 
component : as,

bet Mixd)l)of f the church yard ; 

ber (Sid;fcaum, (from bie (Sirfje, the oak, and ber 33aum,

bie SBinbmiifyle, (from ber SBinb, the wind, and bie 9Jiu^Ie j 

mill ;) the windmill ; 
bag 9iatt$attg, (from ber Slaty, council, and bag «§aug ; 

house ;) the council-house. 

(2) Foreign words, for the most part, when taken into the 
German language, retain their original gender. Those, how- 
ever, that have become fairly Germanized, often take a dif- 
ferent gender as they take a different form : thus, Corpus, 
(the body,) which, in Latin, is neuter, becomes, in German, 
ber Jtorper, which is masculine.

DECLENSION OF COMMON NOUNS. § 12. 273 

(1) It should be observed, in forming derivatives of the 
order illustrated above, that when a, o, or u, is contained in 
the l adical part, it is modified into a, 0, or it, upon receiving 
any one of the suffixes c r, ling, in, d)cn, I c i n, e, n i jj 
and f e I; as, in the case of danger, (from £ang,) 23urger, (from 
"Burg,) and others of the Vke kind, 

(2) Often, moreovei, in forming secondary derivatives 
certain euphonic letters are inserted between the suffix and the 
*vnd to which it is added ; as, t g in fycud)ttgfeit, humidity. 
Otiier letters employed in this way, are c n, n and t. These 
euphonic parts are easily distinguished from those having rn 
influence on the meaning, by merely resolving the derivative 
into its elements. 

(3) Here, too, may be noted the particle g e, which being 
prefixed to certain primary words, forms a class of nouns 
denoting either frequency of action, or a collection of things. 
These words, also, most commonly suffix the letter c ; ©erebe, 
constant talk; ©djeul, frequent crying; ©efctrge, a range of 
hills, are examples. 

§ 12. Declension of common nouns. 

{!) In German there are two declensions, distinguished as 
the Old and the New. The characteristic of each is the termi- 
nation of the genitive singular. In the former, the genitive is 
formed from the nominative by adding e 6 or • when other- 
wise formed, the noun is of the new declension. 

(2) To the old declension belong almost all masculine and 

neuter nouns ; that is, by far the greater part of all the nouns 

in the lano-uao-e. 
o e> 

(3) In both declensions, the nominative., genitive and accu- 
sative plural are, in form, alike ; while the dative terminates 
always in the letter n. Unless, therefore, the word under de- 
clension already ends in that letter, it is, in the dative, uni- 
formly assumed. 

(4) AW feminine nouns are invariable in the singular; in 
tlie plural, thej are, for the most part, inflected according to 
the new declension. 

12* 



274 THE OLD DECLENSION. § 13.

variations of declension.

D. bem $utt-e, to, for the desk; bem ©taljt-e, to, for the steel; 
A. bag $u(t, tha desk; ben ©tatyl, the steel. 

(3) The e of the genitive and dative is often omitted in 
words not ending in el, en, er, c^en, lein. Its omission or re- 
tention is to be determined by euphony al ^e. In nouns of 



THE OLD DECLENSION. § 13. 275 

two or more syllables, unless the last one be under the full 
accent, e is commonly omitted in the genitive, and sometimes 
also in the dative ; as, te3 ^ontgS, tern $ontij, instead of te3 
itimtgea, tern jtimige. 

FORMATION OF THE PLURAL. 

(4) Nouns ending in e, el, en, er, djen and lent, have the 
same form in the plural as in the singular : 

Singular. Plurul. Singular. Plural, 

fcer <2paten, tie Spaten; ba3 SBiidjIein, tie SBiidjtetn;

Exceptions, a. ^Tof; and Sftoftr take the umlaut ; Scot has the 
regular form SSoote, or SBote. 

b. The following neuter nouns add er in the plural, and those 
capable of it take the umlaut : 

3fo3, Sfott, Sab, Sift, Slatt, Su$, ®a#, ©orf, (Si, ga$, $*a§, gelb,

(6) Masculine nouns not ending in e, el, en, er, form theif 
plural by adding e, and taking the umlaut, if capable of it :

(8) The two nouns Gutter and £od)ter form their plural by 
taking the umlaut. 

DECLENSION OF NOUNS IN THE PLURAL. 

(9) Nouns whose plural ends in en, have all cases in this 
number alike ; those of other terminations have the genitive 

, and accusative like the nominative, and add it in the dative : 

N. bie ©paten, the spades; Me 23iicMein, the books, L. 24 ; 

G. ber ©paten, of the spades; ber 23iid)lein, of the books; 

T). ten ©paten, to the spades ; ben 33iict)leirt, to the books ;

* When the singular ends in e, el, a r or c r, the plural takes n only. 

t 9Ji u 1 1 e r, mother, and X o cf> t e r, daughter, are the only feminine nouns 
that have the terminations of the Norn., Gen. and Ace. plural like the singu- 
lar. They add n to the dative. 

i Feminine nouns, it will be remembered, have no variations of declension 
in the singular- As exceptions to this rule, however, some examples remain 
(vestiges of the ancient mode of declension), in which the Gen and Dat. ap- 
pear under the government of a preposition and varied by terminations. Thus: 
nut or in (S'bvcu, with or in respect or honor: (Sbveit, from (£bve • auf (Srfcert, 
on earth: "(Srfem, from (§vi>e ; uitt gmtbeu, with joy: ?5venben, from Sreutie ',

andcr the government of a noun succeeding. Thus, £>ie8 ift inei iter 5rauen 
&4>ti)eiler, this is my wife's sister.

* £eute merely expresses plurality of persons. In this it differs from 9ft eu= 
fcben, (human beings) which has regard to the kind or species, as also from 
Sftanner (men) which denotes particularly the sex. Those compounds, how- 
ever, of which, in the singular, Sftamt forms the last part, take generally, ic 
the plural, Scute instead of iDiauiter; thus, 

Singular. Plural. 

9lrtiett8maun, workman ; 2lrbeif*Ieute workpeople. 

©belnuuiu, nobleman; (Sbelleute, noblemen, 

^atifnittitu, merchant ; .fhntfleuto, merchants. 

Saubmaun countryman ; Satibleute, country-people. 

The distinctive difference between Scute and SftntiiU'V may be forcibly shown 
by reference to the words(§i)eleute and @l)emauucr: ©t)deute means married 
people; (Stjcinauuei: signifies married men, i. e. husbands. 



OBSERVATIONS ON THE DECLENSION, <feC. § 15. 270 

(2) Some Lave no plural. 
These are, 

a. Generic names of material substances; as, ba3 ©olb, gold; 
Siffcer, silver ; (§ifen, iron ; &e. 

b. General terms and those expressive of abstract ideas ; as, 
Wauti, pillage: {ftufim, glory ; baS 93iet), cattle; 33 enmn ft, rea- 
son ; <StoI$, pride ; Stliitt, cold ; &c. 

c. Some names of plants ; as, ber Jtet)l, the cabbage ; Jqq* 
fefeit, hops ; Jtteffe, cresses ; &c. 

d . All infinitives employed as nouns, as also all neuter ad- 
jectives so employed; as, ?efcen, life; 93erlangen, wish; ba3 
SBeijj, white ; &c. 

e. Nouns, for the most part, denoting quantity, number, 
weight or measure ; * as, 35unb, bundle ; 3)u§enb, dozen ; ©rab 
degree ; $funb, pound ; QoU, an inch ; &c. 

(3) Some, in the plural, have two forms; conveying, 
however, in general, different, though kindred significations ; as, 

Singular. Plurals. 

fcer SSanb, 33cmbe, bonds, fetters ; 33anber, f ribbons. 

tie --Canf, 23anfe, benches; 35anfen, banks (of com- 

merce), 
bcr 33egen, 93ogert, sheets of paper; SSogett, arches, bows. 
6a§ 2>ing, SMnge, things in general ; £>mger, little creatures, 
ber £ern, 3>cntert, kinds of thorn ; £>orner, thorns (more 

than one), 
ber $u% ftujjf, feet ; ftufje, feet (as meas- 

ures). 
pa3 ©eftdjt, ©eftdjte, visions, sights ; ©effdjter, faces. 
Da3 £em, <§onte, sorts of horn ; «£ enter, horns (more 

than one). 
ba3 $el& ^olje, sorts of wood ; ^oljer, pieces of wood. 

* It should be noted that words expressing quantity, number, weight on 
measure, even if qualified by numerals signifying more than one, are rarely 
found in the plural. Thus, in German, we say, neuit .ftlaffer. nine fathoms ; 
|>unbert ®r<it>, a hundred degrees; &c, where, though the numeral expresses 
,-nore than one, the noun of measure is still in the singular number. 

Note, however, that feminines ending in e and words denoting periods of 
time, as also the names of coins, are, in general, excepted from the rule given 
in the note preceding. 

t The singular of this is bag {neuter) SBnnb. Prom ber 23anb, we have an- 
other form : --8>uit>e volumes.

§ 16. Foreign nouns. 

(1) Some nouns introduced into the German from foreign 
languages, retain their original terminations unaltered : as, ber 
9Rebicu£, a physician ; plur. 3)?ebtci, physicians ; factum, deed; 
Sfacta, deeds. 

(2) Some masculines and neuters from the French and the 
English, merely affix 8 to the genitive singular, which is re- 
tained in all the cases of the plural ; as, bcr £orb, gen. be§ £orb3; 
plur. btc £orb0 j bcr (£t)ef ; gen. be3 (S(;ef§ ; plur. bie (£§ef$. 

(3) But foreign nouns, for the most part, drop the termi- 
nations peculiar to the language whence they come, and sub- 
stitute those characteristic of the German. Some, accordingly, 
are found to be declined after the old declension, some after 
the new, and others, again, partly after the one and partly af- 
ter the other. 

§ 17. Foreign nouns of the old declension. 

(1) Foreign nouns of the neuter gender, as also most of the 

masculines, are of the old declension. 



tc the singular, ba« <Sd)tU>. 



FOREIGN NOUNS OF THE NEW DECLENSION. §18. 281 

(2) Among the masculines must be noted those appella 
tions of persons ending in 

at; as, jtarbtnal, cardinal, 
ar; as, 9?otav, notary. 
an; as, jtaftetl an, castellan. 
aner; as, 5Domhufcmev dominican. 
iner; as, ^Bcnebtftiner, benedictine. 
To which add Qlfct, $ro!pft, $avft 23ifd)of, Wltyox, <S$ion, pa- 
tron, Officer. 

(3) Some have, in the plural, the form er (e + r); as, ^o3» 
pttal, (Suited, Jtamifbl, Regiment, ^arlament; plur. ^o&pttalcr, 
Spitaler, &c. 

(4) Some, in the plural, soften the radical vowels; as, Qlfct, 
2Utar, 23tfd)cf, ei;or, Choral, ^oe^ttal, ®$ltal, itemed, (Saltan, 
tfarbinat, Softer, 9)?arfd), 3)?craft, $ataft, CJ3a^ft, ^vo^ft; plur 
3leote, QUtare, 2Sifd)ofe, &c. 

§ 18. Foreign nouns of the new declension. 

(1) To the new declension belong all foreign nouns of the 
feminine gender, and nearly all masculines which are the ap- 
pellations of persons. These latter are chiefly those ending in 

at', as, Qibfocat, advocate, 
ant; as, Qlbjutant, adjutant, 
ent; as, ©tubent, student, 
if; as, jtat^oitf, Catholic. 
aft ; as, $l)cmtajt, humorist, 
ifi; as, 3urijt, lawyer, 
oft; as, ©taroji, Polish magistrate, 
ct; as, $oer, poet, 
it; as, Sefutt, Jesuit. 
Ot; as, Sbtot, idiot. 
e; as, (glebe, pupil, 
leg; as, $§eolog, theologian. 
fb!pl?; as, $l)iiofe:p{), philosopher, 
nom; as, ^ifttonom, astronomer. 

(2 ) To these are to be added some othsr foreign mascu- 
lines ; as, ber (Elegant, the elephant; ber Qutat, the ducat; bet

hornet, the comet ; ber planet, the planet ; bet Jtonfonant, the 
consonant; ber $rirt$, the prince ; ber $i)tamt, the tyrant. 

§ 19. Foreign .nouns partly of the old and partly ov 
the new declension. 

(1) These are, first, neuters ending in ftfc; as, ba§ ^affit), 
gen. $afftu3; plur. ^affttten; — secondly, titles of males in or; 
as, doctor; gen. 3)octor3; plur. £)octorert; — thirdly, neuters 
ending in at, it and u m, which, also, often have t before the 
en of the plural; as, Jta!pitat, plur. Jta^itatten; Soffit, plur. 
ftofftften; ©titbium, plur. ©tubten; — fourthly, the following 
masculines, QlfteriSt 5 , Sttcimcmt, Safan, Jtapaim, Smlport, Jtonful, 
SWuSfel, $antoffel, $rafeft, $falm, Rubin, ®taat, $$or, Xxattat, 
3in8 ; to which add Snfett, attorn, $ronom, <&tntut and 93er& 
which are neuters. 

§ 20. Declension of proper nouns, 
in the singular number. 

(1) Names of males and females, except when the latter 
terminate in e, take to form the genitive, which is their only 
variation ; * as, 

N. «§einridfj, (Stifabeft), 

G. «£einrid)3, (Stifafcen)3, 

D. <£emrid), (Sttfaoeffy 

A. 45einrid). (SUfafcetf;. 

(2) Names of females ending in e, as also of males ending 
bl, fj, f d), X, or i, form the genitive in e ft 8 ; f as, 

N. £uife, Scifotlfc, SSof , 

G. SuifenS, £eifcni|en$, ©offcnS , J 

D. guife, Seiomfe, 9Sof, 

A. £uife, geionifc, SSof. 

* It is customary with some writers to affix e it to the dative and accusative 
Df proper names ; but a better usage distinguishes these cases by prefixing the 
article; as, VM'ftrtfl; gen. S-effhiflS; dat. btm Scfftug (instead of Eefftugni) ; 
bcc l>?n Sefftttfl (instead of Sefftitflen). 

t The genitive, dative and accusative of names ending in a, are sometimes 
r ~rmed by adding respectively e it § and e it, after dropping the a ; as, 2)iaii(t ; 

2, 'BtrtiienS ; dat. ( t)tatieu ; ace SDknm. 
„Phe termination t\\8 sometimes suffers contraction ; as, 93ojT$, Sei&ttijj'S. 



PROPER NAMES OF COUNTRIES, CITIES, <feC. § 21. § 22. 283 

(3) Names whether of males or females, when preceded 
by an article, are indeclinable ; as, 

N. ber emitter, bie £uife ; 

G. beg <&d)itttx, bcr tfiiife ; 

D. bem Sdjiiler, bcr?mfej 

A. ben ©filler, bie £uife. 

(4) Foreign names, also, having the unaccented termina- 
tions a 3, e 3, i 3, U 3, admit no variations of form, either in the 
singular or the plural. When, therefore, their case and num- 
ber are not otherwise sufficiently indicated, an article or a pre- 
position is used to point them out. 

§ 21. Proper nouns in the plural. 

(1) Proper nouns, when employed in the plural, conform, 
for the most part, to the rules for the declension of common 
nouns : the masculines beino- varied according to the old de- 
clension, and the feminines according to the new. * 

(2) Their inflection is in no wise affected by the presence 
of the article, nor do the radical vowels a, o, it, an, ever as- 
sume the Umlaut. 

Examines, 

N. bie £etDni|e, Sdjleget, £uifen, Qtmten; 

G. ber £ei{mt£e, ©djlcgel, Suifen, Qlnncn; 

D. ben JPeitnufcen, <2d)legdn, £uifcn, 9lnnen; 

A. bie £etl3mfte, 6d)legcl, Puifen, oilmen. 

§ 22. Proper names of countries, cities, <tc. 

(1) Proper names of places admit no changes of form for 
the purposes of declension, beyond the mere addition of to 
the genitive singular ; as, 33erlm ; gen. 33erUn3. 

(2) If, however, the word end in a sound not easily ad- 
mitting an g after it, the case is distinguished by placing be- 



* Sometimes the plural is made by the addition of § to the singular ; as. 
bteScbiller*. tie .£evberg; the Schillers, the Herders. Those ending in t> add 
or thfj plural ue or n e it; as, (iaio; nom. plur. (Satoue or (Satonen, &*\

prep. Hn. Example : bte Otafct 2D?airt$, the city Mayence* 
£>er Jtontg sort $reu£eru 3Me Sinrcofyner son $art$* 

§ 23. Observations. 

(1) When several proper names belonging to the same per. 
son, and they not preceded by the article, come together, the 
last one only is declined; as, 3>ot)ann (Sf)rtjto!pl) $lbelung3 ©pradj* 
fel)re ; John Christopher Adelung's grammar : — if, however, 
the article precede, none of them undergo change; as, bte SBerfe 
DeS 3ol;ann ©cttlofc Berber ; the works of John Gottlob Herder- 
s (2) When a common and a proper name of the same per- 
son, preceded by the article, concur, the common noun alone is 
inflected ; as, ber Sob be§ jt n i g § £ubrDtg j the death of king 
Louis : — if no article precede, the proper noun is declined ; * 
as, jtonig £ u b to i g 3 £ob ; king Louis' death. 

(3) When a Christian name is separated from a family name 
by a preposition (specially Jj o it), the Christian name only ad- 
mits of declension; as, bte ©ebtcfyte $Ttebrtct)§ bon ©cfytfler; the 
poems of Frederick of Schiller : — if, however, the genitive 
precede the governing noun, the family name only takes the 
sign of declension ; as, ^riebrtcfy fccrt <Sd)i[(er3 5Berfe ; Frederick 
of Schiller's works. 

§ 24. Adjectives. 

(1) Adjectives are, in German, generally so varied in ter- 
mination, as to indicate thereby the gender, number and case 
of the words with which they are joined. Before treating of 
their inflection, however, we shall present and explain those 
significant suffixes, which are most commonly employed in for- 
ming adjectives from other words. 

(2) Plere, as was done in the case of derivative nouns 
(§ 10. §11.), each suffix is given with its corresponding English 
equivalent ; its meaning explained ; and its use farther illus- 
trated by a series of examples.

§ 27. Declension of adjectives. 

(1) Whether an adjective is to be inflected at all or not, 
depends wholly upon the way in which it is used ; for, when 
employed as a predicate, it is never declined ; f when as an at- 
tributive, almost always. Be the noun, therefore, masculine, 
feminine or neuter ; be it singular or plural ; if the adjective, 
to which it is applied, be used as & predicate (L. 14. Note.), its 
form remains unchanged : thus, 

2>er SJfann iji gut; the man is good. 

SDie Sfrau ift gut • the woman is good. 

£>a3 Jtinb ift gut; the child is good. 

SDie Scanner ftnb gut; the men are good. 

£>ie Sfrauen [tub gut; the women are good. 

3>d) nemte ba6 Jttnb f d) o n ; I call the child beautiful. 

3d) nenne bie Jlinber f dj 5 n ; I call the children beautiful. 

£)et Slnaht, futg uub arrtg ; J the boy prudent and polite. 

(2) The following adjectives (and a few others) are never used 
otherwise than as predicates, and are, of course, indeclinable : 
atJtjotb, averse. feirb, hostile. 

augft, anxious. geWt, hating, hated, 

anr/eifcr/tg, bound by promise. gar, done ; cooked enough. 

betctt, ready. gang uub gefie, current ; usual 

&tad), fallow. eingebmr", mindful. 



* This is the ending commonly added to nnmes of places pointing to 
things belonging to them ; as, enqltfcb, .fctnvebtfri) (§ 5. Note VII ), &c. If 
however, a name be a compound, the suffix e r is used in place of i f d) ; as, 
fcas iDJei'fcburijev &iev ; the Merseburg beer. 

t For the form of the adjective substantively employed after ntcfjtg or tf'xaS, 
see Lesson 14. 6. 

\ In this last example, the predicative use of the adjectives may be mado 
more obvious, by completing the structure, thus, ber Jtnabe, toelcber th\c\ tmfe 
IXttQ ift; the boy who is prudent and polite ; s< also, (Safar, flug tm& A apfer, 



rule § 28. § 29. 287 

getrofi, cneerfui. nctf), needful. 

gehnirttg, aware. nu§e, useful, 

gram, grudge-bearing, qucr, crosswise, 
fya&haft, possessing, or possessed of. quitt, rid of. 

fyattbgcmem, skirmishing. tt)etlr;aft, sharing, 

irre, wrong ; erring. un^af , ill ; sick. 

funt>, known. berlufUg, forfeiting. 
lit), distressing ; sorry. 

§ 28. Declinable adjectives 

(1) There are two declensions of adjectives, as there are 
two declensions of nouns : the Old and the New. In either of 
these, according to circumstances, are attributive adjectives 
declined. The following are the terminations of

When the adjective stands either entirely alone before its

* Adjectives ending in el, en, e i\ commonly drop the e upon receiving a

ebct, noUe ; eblcr (not ebefcr) 9ft aim ; 

eben, even; ebnev (not cbener) &Bea.; 

lautcr, pure ; lanrieS (not lanfereS) @olb. 

Upon adding en, the e of the termination (en) is dropped, while that of the 
root is retained ; as, ben ijeitevn (instead of bettmi) 9ft org en ; the serene 
morning. 

t In these two places {nom. and ace neut.) the termination e 8 is often 
omitted, when the adjective is under no special emphasis; as, fait (for faU 
US) SBaffer ; cold water. 

X Note that here (gen. sing. masc. and neut) it is now the common custom 
to adopt the new, instead of the old form; en, for the sake of euphony, beina 
substituted for ee ; as, eiu (Stiuf frifrf) eu (not es) sBrobeS; a piece of fivsfi 
bread, hi a few adverbial phrases, however, the old foi m is still generall|

§32. Mixed declension. 

(1) We have seen that an adjective, when standing tU&m 
before its noun, is varied according to the ancimt declension ; 
and this, because the gender, number and case of the noun 
being very imperfectly indicated by the forn of the noun it- 
self, the terminations of the old declension, which, in this re- 
spect, are more complete, seem necessary in order the more 
fully to point out these particulars : thus, gut e r 93?cmn, good 
man; gut e Stout, good woman ; guteS^cfo, good field. 

(2) When, however, as often happens, it is itself preceded 
by some restrictive word (such as b e r, b i e, b a 8, the ; b i e* 
fcr, biefe, biefe 3, this, &c), declined after the ancient 
form, and, therefore, by its endings, sufficiently showing the 
gender, number and case of the noun, the adjective passes into 
the less distinctive form, called the ne^'" declension : thus, bte* 
fer gute Sftann, this good man ; biefe glib ftvau, this good wo- 
man ; biefeS gtttc ftelb, this good field. 

(3) But there are some restrictive words which, though, 
in the main, inflected according to the more complete form of 
the ancient declension, are, in three leading places (nom. sing, 
masc. and nom. and ace. sing, neuter), entirely destitute of 
significant terminations , These words are, 

cut, a. feirt, hirj ; its. 

fein, no: none. it;r, her; your; their, 

mem, my. unfer, our. 

betit, thy. cuer, your. 

(4) Hence it happens, that, while in every other case, the 
words just cited, follow the old form, and consequently require 
the subsequent adjective to adopt the new one, the adjective 
is itself made to supply the d^uency, in <he three places 






rule. 8 33. 291 

named above, by assuming therein the terminations proper to 
the ancient form. In this way, is produced a sort of mixed 
declension, which, in books generally, is set down as the Third 
Declension. Thus, then, will stand the 

Terminations of the Mixed Declension.

G. en. en. en. G. en.

(5) It must be added, also, that the personal pronouns, 
id), I ; bu, thou ; er, he ; fie, she ; e3, it ; hnr, we ; ir)r, ye or 
you ; fte, they ; cause the adjective before which they stand, 
to take this mixed form of declension. Hence the 

§ 33. Rule. 

(1) When the adjective is immediatly preceded and re- 
stricted by the indefinite article, by a personal or possessive pro- 
noun, or by the word f e i n, it assumes the endings charac- 
teristic of the mixed declension : thus,

§ 34. Further observations on adjectives. 

(1 ) When several consecutive adjectives come before and 
qualify the same noun, each has the same form, which accord- 
ing to the preceding rules, it would have, if standing alone ; as, 
guter, rotter, lautrer SSein, good, red, pure wine ; bie retfe, 
fdjone, gute orucfyt, the ripe, beautiful, good fruit. 

(2) But when of two adjectives which relate to the same 
noun, the second forms with the noun an expression for a single 
idea, which the first qualifies as a whole, the second adjective 
takes (except in the nom. sing, and in nom. and ace. plural) 
the new form of declension ; as, nut trocfn e m irctf e n Sanb, 
with dry white sand ; where white sand, that is, sand which is 
white, is said also to be dry. 

(o) When two or more adjectives terminating alike, precede 
4.nd qualify the same noun, the ending of the former is occa- 
sionally omitted ; such omission being marked by a hyphen ; 
as, ein rot v = (for rotf;e§) unb fteifeS ©efidjt, a red and white 
face; bie fdjtoat^rotr^gctbene Sfafyne, the black red golden 
banner. 

(4) Participles are declined after the manner of adjectives : 
thus, ber gelicBte SSruber, the beloved brother j gen. beS gcliefc<* 
tm 33 tuber 3, &c. 

(5) Adjectives, in German, as in other languages, are, by 
ellipsis, often made to serve in place of nouns. They then be- 
gin with a capital letter, and, excepting that they retain the 
forms of declension peculiar to adjectives, are in all respects 
treated as nouns. Their gender is made apparent either by 
their terminations or by the presence of an article or other defini- 
tive : as, etn £>eutfcr/er, a German; bicfer £)eutfd)c, this Ger- 

* Note that after the personal pronouns, in the genitive case, the article 
must be used ; as, behter, bee guten Gutter ; of thee, the good mother. 



EUPHONIC CHANGES. § 35. § 36. 293 

man ; Me $cittfc(}e, the German woman ; baS ©djone, the beauti- 
ful ; baS ©ute, the good ; that is, that which is beautiful ; that 
which is good. So, also, baS SBeifi, the while; ba3 ©run, the 
green ; ba$ dloil), the red ; &c. 

(3) When of two adjectives preceding a noun, the first is 
employed as an adverb to qualify the second, the former is 
not declined : thus, em g a n 5 ntuc$ <$a\i&, a house entirely 
new : not ein g a n 3 c 3 neueS <$aud, which would mean, an en- 
tire, new house. 

§ 35. Comparison op adjectives. 

(1) In German, as in English, the degrees of comparison 
are commonly expressed by means of the suffixes e X and t ft ! 
thus, 

Positive. Comparative. Superlative, 

to i I b, wild ; to i I b e r, wilder ; to i 1 b e ft, wildest, 

f e ft, firm ; f e ft c r, firmer ; f e ft e ft, firmest, 

oretft. bold; breifter, bolder; bretftcft, boldest. 

log, loose; Iofer, looser; I of eft, loosest. 

n a ft wet ; naffer, wetter ; n a f f e ft, wettest. 

r a f d), quick ; r a f d) e r, quicker ; r a f d) e ft, quickest, 

ft 1 5, proud ; ft 1 J e t, prouder ; ft 1 5 e ft, proudest. 

§ 36. Euphonic changes. 

(1) When the positive does not end in b, t, ft, 8, ft, fdj, 
or §, the e of the superlative suffix (e ft) is omitted ; as, 

B I a n f, bright ; fc t a n f e r, brighter ; fc I a n ! ft, brightest, 

f I a r, clear ; fl a r e r, clearer ; 1 1 a r ft, clearest, 

rein, pure; reiner, purer; re in ft, purest, 

f d) n, fine ; f d) 5 n e r, finer ; f d) 5 n ft, finest. 

(2) When the positive ends in e, the e of the comparative 
suffix (e r) is dropped ; as, 

toetfe, wise; toetfer, wiser; toe if eft, wisest, 

m u b e, weary ; m u b e r, more weary ; mub e ft, most weary, 



294 DECLENSION OB COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES. $ 37. 

(3) When the positive ends in el, en or er, the e of 
these terminations is commonly omitted, upon adding the com- 
parative or superlative suffix ( e r or ft) ; as, 

C b e I, noble ; eblcr (not ebelcr), nobler j e b : I ft, noblest, 
trocfen, dry; tro ff iter (not trocfener), drier; trocf en ft, driest. 
iapfer,brave; t a p fr er (not tap fcrer), braver; tap ferfr, bravest. 

(4) When the positive is a monosyllable, the vowel (if it 
be capable of it) commonly takes the Umlaut, in the compara- 
tive and superlative ; as, 

o 1 1, old ; alter, older ; a 1 1 e ft, oldest. 

q x o 13, coarse ; g r o fc e r, coarser ; g r o B ft, coarsest, 
fl u g, wise ; 1 1 u g e r, wiser ; 1 1 u g ft, wisest. 

(C) Exceptions. From this last rule, however, must be 
excepted nearly all those adjectives containing the diphthong 
a u : as, laut (loud), lauter, lauteft; rau!) (rough), r a at) er, 
r a u I) e ft. So, also, the following : 

fcunt, variegated. fnapp, tight. fatt, satisfied, 

fabe, insipid. Iaf;m, lame. ftyfoff, loose. 

fat;I, fallow. lag, weary. fcfylanf, slender. 

fa!6, fallow. Io3, loose. fcfyrojf, rugged, 

ffad), flat. matt, tired. ftarr, stiff, 

fvof), glad. ttacrt, naked. ftolj, proud, 

gerabe, straight. platt, flat. flraff, stiff; tight, 

glatt, smooth. plump, clumsy. fhtnim, dumb. 

^of;r, hollow. vol), raw. fluiulpf; bkmt. 

t)o!b, amiable. rimb, round. toll, mad. 

ta% bald. fadjt, slow. UoU, full, 

farg, stingy. fanft, gentle. Safym, tame. 



§ 37. Declension of comparatives and superlatives. 

(1) Comparatives and superlatives are subject to the same 
laws of declension, that regulate adjectives in the positive. 
Thus, after adding to fd)6n, fair, the suffix (er), we get the 
comparative form f d) Otter, fairer; which is inflected in the threa 
ways : thus,

§38, Observations. 

(1) In place of the regular form of the superlative, prece- 
ded by the article and agreeing with the noun in gender, num- 
ber and case, we often find a circumlocution employed ; which 
consists in the dative case singular of the new form preceded 
by the particle a m : thus, bie $age fmb im SBinter vim furge* 
{ten, the days are shortest in the winter. The explanation is 
easy : a ttt, compounded of an (at), and bem, the dative of 
ber (the), signifies at the. Translated literally, therefore, the 
sentence above will be : The days in winter are at the shortest ; 
that is, at the shortest (limit) : where, in the German, turje* 



IRREGULAR AND DEFECTIVE FORMS. § 39. 



29' 



fieri agrees with some noun in the dative understood, which ts 
governed by a n. But the phrase is used and treated just as 
any regular superlative form would be under the same circum- 
stances. In like manner, auf (upon) and ju (to) combined 
respectively with the article (auf b a 3 and ju be m), and 
producing the forms cutf3 and jum, are employed with adjec- 
tives in the superlative : thus, cmf3 fdjonfte eirtgerid)tet, arranged 
upon the finest (plan) ; jum fdjonftert, to, or according to the 
finest (manner). These latter forms, however, are chiefly em- 
ployed to denote eminence, rather than to express comparison. 
Freely rendered, therefore, aufS fcfyonfte and jum fdjonjten will 
be : very finely, most beautifully or the like. 

(2) Sometimes aflet (of all) is found prefixed to superla- 
tives to give intensity of meaning ; as, ber aHetfcefb, the best 
of all, i. e. the very best j bic aflerfd)Onfte, the handsomest of 
ill, i. e. the very handsomest. 

(3) When mere eminence, and not comparison, is to be ex- 
pressed, the words aujjjerft (extremely) and r)ocf)ft (highest) are 
employed : as, bieS ift eine ciuperjt fdjone 93lume, this is a veiy 
beautiful flower. 



§ 39. Irregular and defective forms. 



Positive. 
gut, good; 
r/ecr,, high;

298 adjectives compared by means of adverbs. § 40. § 41 

§ 40. Observations. 

(1) Note that t)cd) (high), in the comparative, drops, while 
naf) (near), in the superlative, assumes the letter c : thus, 
f)od), comp. fyofyer; rial), comp. nafyer, sup. n ad) ft 

(2) That mel;r (more), the comparative of inel, has two 
forms in the plural, metjr e or mefyr ere; and that the latter 
(metyrere) is the more common one. It has the use and mean- 
ing of the English word several : as, 3d) fat? mcfyrere ©olbaien, 
I saw several soldiers. 

(3) That the superlative of grofi (great) is contracted into 
flrojjt. 

(4) That erft, the superlative of efyer (earlier), is a con- 
traction for et;eft 

(5) That from bet erfte (the earliest or first) and bcr Tegte 
(the latest or last), are formed the correlative terms erfterer, 
the former, and le^tercr, the latter. 

(6) That the last six words in the list (§39) are formed 
from adverbs, and are comparatives in form rather than in 
fact. 

§ 41. Adjectives compared by means of adverbs. 

(1) When the degrees of comparison are not expressed by 
suffixes, the adverbs meljr (more) and am meiften (most) are 
employed for that purpose : thus, 

Positive. Comparative. Superlative. 

angft, anxious ; nte^r angft ; am meiften angft 

fcerett, ready ; metyr fcereit ; am meijlen Berett 

emgebenf 1 , mindful ; me^r eingebenf ; am meiften einge*

§ 42. Observations. 

The above method of comparison, which is commonly called 
the compound form, is chiefly used in cases : 

(1) Where a comparison is instituted between two different 
qualities of the same person or thing : as, cr ift mef;r lufttcj aU 
traurig, he is more merry than sad ; cr rear mcl)r glftcflicfy ati 
ta^fcr, he was more fortunate than brave. 

(2) Where the adjectives, like those in the list above, are 
never used otherwise than as predicates. 

(3) Where the addition of the suffixes of comparison would 
offend against eupliony, as in the superlative of adjectives end- 
ing in ifdjj thus, fcaruatifd). 

§ 43. THE NUMERALS.

fied according to their signification. Anions the classes thus

(1) Observe that the cardinals are, for the most part, 
indeclinable. 

(2) (Bin, (one) however, is declined throughout like the 
indefinite article. It is, in fact, the same word with a different 
use ; and is distinguished from it, in speaking and writing, only 
by a stronger emphasis and by being usually written with a 
capital initial. This is the form which it has, when immediately 
before a noun, or before an adjective qualifying a noon. Thus : 



N. 



Masculine. Feminine. 

(Bin Sftann, (Sine ftrau,

c. Mixed Form. 
N tnctn cuter, meine cine, mem eincS, my one. * 
G. mcineS cinen, meinet einen, mcineS eincn, of my one, &o 

(4) 3fr*ci (two) and bret (three), when the cases are not 
sufficiently pointed out by other words in the context, are 
declined : thus, 

N. 3wel, f tw0 > brei, three. 

G. Btteier, of two, breier, of three. 

D. 3tteien, to or for two, breien, to or for three. 
A. Qmi, two, brei, three. 

(5) All the rest of the cardinals, when employed substan- 
tively, take en in the dative : except such as already end in these 
letters; as, tcf) tyaDe e3 Brimfen gefagt, I have told it to five 
(persons). 

(6) <£>unbett and $aufenb are often employed as col- 
lective (neuter) nouns, and regularly inflected ; as, norn. ba3 
^unbert, gen. beg 4?imbett3, plural (nom.) bie ^unberte. SSI iU 
Hon is, in like manner, made a noun (feminine,) and is, in the 
singular always preceded by thp article ; as, (Sine 9)Zittion, a 
million. 

(7) In speaking of the cardinals, merely as figures or cha- 
racters, they are all regarded as being in the feminine gender : 
as, bie (Sin3, the one, bie 3rcei, the two, bie £)rei, the three ; 
where, in each case, the word, Qafy, (number) is supposed to 
be understood : thus bie (3af}t) brei, the (number) three. 

§ 45. Ordinal Numbers. 

(1) The ordinal numbers are those, which answer to the 
question : u Which one of the series ? " They are given below, 

* In relation to the numeral e t ti note, farther, these three things : 

1. That in merely counting, it has the termination of the neuter, with v 8 
however, omitted ; as e 1 11 #, 3 w e t, b v e i. one, two, three, &c. 

2 That e t tt may be used in the plural, when the design is to distinguish 
classes of individuals ; as, tie (Sinen, the ones, ber (S'tneh, of the ones, fyc just 
a^, in English, we say, the ones, the others. 

3. That e i 11, unlike the English one, cannot be employed in a rippletory 
way, to till the place of a noun: thus, we cannot say, m German, a new one, 
a good one, Sfc. In such cases, me adjective stands alone. 

t In place of 3 w ? t- tmbe (both) which is declined like an adjective in the 
plural, is often employed ; as betbe Slugen, both eyes; bie beiben *8ritber, botb 
the brothers The neuter b e t b e § never refers to persons.

(2) Observe that, in the formation of the ordinals from 
the cardinals, a certain law is observed : viz. from jtret {two) 
to Tteunjetnt (nineteen) the corresponding ordinal, in each case 
(b r \ i t e and ad) it excepted), is made by adding the letters 
t e ; as, §trei, two ; gn>et t e, second ; fcter, four ; sner t e, fourth, 
<fcc. Beyond that number (nineteen), the same effect is pro- 
duced by adding ft e ; as, gtvanjtg, twenty ; gruanjtg ft c, twen- 
tieth ; &c. (Srfte is from et)er (before). 

(3j Note, also, that ber anbere (the other') is often used in 
place of ber jfrette ; but only in cases where two objects only 
are referred to. 

(4) In compound numbers, it must be observed that the 
last one only, as in English, bears the suflix (te or jte) ; but in 
this case, the units usually precede the tens : thus, ber bier 
unb gtrangtg ft e, the four and twenties. 

(5) We have, also, a sort of interrogative ordinal, formed 
from tone (how) and inet (much), which is used when we wish 
to put the question : Wliich of the number ? as, ber nnesielfie 
ift ucute ? what day of the month is to-day ? 5Da§ ftriesnetfte ifl 
e§ ? how manv does that make ? 



§ 46. Distributive Numerals. 

The distributives, which answer to the question : "Hew 
many at a time ? " are formed, as in English, by coupling car- 
dinals by the conjunction unb; or by using before them t\x6 
particle je (e"er ; at a time); tius, 



304 



NUMERALS. § 47. § 48. § 49. 



gtoet unb Jtoei, two and two, or je §toet, £wo a£ a time; 

bret unb bret, f/iree and three, or je brei, three at a time, &\ 

§ 47. Multiplicative Numerals. 

The multiplicatives, which answer to the question : " How 
many fold ? " are formed from the cardinals by adding the 
suffix fad) {fold) or falttg {having folds) ; thus, 

einfadj or emfalttg, * onefold or single ; 

Jtoeifxd) or jnmfafttg, twofold or having two folds ; 

bieifacfy or bmfaltig, threefold or treble ; 

luerfacfy or inctfaliig, fourfold or having four folds, &c. 

§ 48. Variative Numerals. 

Variatives, which answer to the question ; " Of how many 
kinds ? " are formed from the cardinals by affixing I e i {a sort 
or Jeind\ the syllable c r being inserted for the sake of eupho- 
ny ; thus, 

emerlet, of one kind ; iriererlet, of four kinds ; 

§tt?eierlet, of two kinds ; fimferiet, of five kinds ; 

breterlet, of three kinds ; mcmcfyerlet, of many kinds ; &c. 

§ 49. Dimidiative Numerals. 

The dimidiatives, which answer to the question : " Which 
(\. e. which of the numbers) is but a half? " are formed from 
the ordinals by annexing the word tyatfc {half) ; thus, 

gtoeUet)al6, f the second a half, that is, one whole and a 

half; If 
btittet)aIB, third a half, i. e. two wholes and a half ; 2- 1 . 
bierid)atr3, the fourth a half i. e. three wholes and a half; 

3£; &c. 



* (Stnfalftg is applied to what is simple, artless or silly. 

t Instead of ^uettchalb, the word in common use is anbertbalb: the par 
a ii p c r t being from b e v a u b er e, the second. The word would be am 
Dcr e l)a\b ; but the final c is exchanged for a t, probably, for ihe sake of as 
eimilating it, in form, to the rest of the words of this class 



NUMERALS. § 50. §51. 305 

§50. Iterative Numerals. 

The iteratives, which answer to the question : " Hew often 
or how many times ? " are formed from cardinals and from in- 
defini/-e numerals, by the addition of the word mat * {time) ; 
thus, 

e i n m a I, one time ; once ; b t e r m a I, four times ; 

f u n f m a t five times ; g to e t m a t, two times j twice ; 

bretmal, three times; fed) 3 mat, six times; 

1 e b e 6 m a I, each time ; b i e t m a I, many times ; &c. 

§ 51. Distinctives. 

(1) The name, distinctives, has been applied to a class of 
ordinal adverbs, which answer to the question : " In what place 
in the series ? " and which are formed by affixing e it 3 to the 
ordinal numbers : thus, 

c r ft e n 3, first or in the first f u n f t e it 3, fifthly ; 

place ; 

a xv e i t e n 3, secondly ; f e d) 3 t e n 3, sixthly ; 

b r i 1 1 c n 8, thirdly ; f i e r) t e it 3, seventhly ; 

b i e r t e n 3, fourthly ; a d) t e it 8, eighthly ; &c. 

(2) Under the name, distinctives, may, also, be set down a 
class of numeral nouns, formed from the cardinals by the addi- 
tion of the suffixes c r, i it and ling, which are used to desig- 
nate one arrived at, belonging to, or valued at a certain num- 
ber : thus, 

5 e d) 1 1 g c x, sixtier, i. e a man sixty years of age, or one 

of a company of sixty ; 
Ureter, one valued at three, i. e. a coin of 3 pfennigs 

Prussian ; 
(B, 1 f e t, eleven-er, i. e. wine of the year 1811 ; 
3 to 1 1 U n g, two-ling, i. e. a twin, &c. 



* 3ft a I is sometin.es separated from the numerals, and is then regularly ' 
declined as a neuter r Dun. 



306 NUMERALS. § 52. $ 53. 

§52. Partitives or Fractionals. 

Under this name (partitives) are embraced a class of neutei 
nouns, answering to the question : " What part ? " wliicr. are 
formed by affixing to the ordinals the suffix t e t f (jiart) : 
thus, 

3) r 1 1 1 e T, a third ; ©tefcentet, a seventh , 

S3 i c r t e I, a fourth ; 91 d) t e 1, an eight ; 

$ iL n f t e I, a fifth ; 0ieunttl, a ninth ; 

@ c d) 6 1 e I, a sixth ; Sctyntel, a tenth ; &e. 

§ 53. Indefinite Numerals. 

(\) The indefinite numerals, which are, for the most part, 
used and inflected as adjectives, are commonly divided into 
such as serve to indicate number, such as merely denote quan- 
tity, and such, finally, as are employed to express both. 
Those denoting number only, are 

jeber, jebe, jebe3, each, every ; 

jegltdjer, — e, — e8, „ „ ) old and unusual forms of 
jebweber, — e, — e3, „ „ J icber. 

mandjer, mandfje, manfyB, many a ; many (in the plural). 
mer/rere, several ; plural of me^r, more. 

(2) Those denoting quantity only, are 

e t to a 3, some ; which is indeclinable. 

g a n g, £Ae whole, as opposed to a jsarJ ; declined generally 
like an adjective ; ^declinable, however, when placed be- 
fore neuter names of places and not preceded by an ar- 
ticle or pronoun ; as, gcm§ £)eutfd)tanb, all Germany ; (with 
the article or pronoun preceding) ba0 gcmje 2)cutfd}tanb, 
the whole of Germany ; fein ganger JReidjttyum, his whole 
riches. 

b a ( B, half, follows the same law, in declension, as the word 
Qa\v 6 above. 

t X e I is simply a contracted form of the word X I) e 1 1, a part. From 20 
upwards, note that ft e I (instead of t c I) is added ; as, jwaujigfiel/ the twea- 
toenih, &c. 



INDEFINITE NUMERALS. §53. 307 

(3) Those denoting number and quantity both, are 

a 1 1 e r, a 1 1 e, a II e $, all ; applied to quantity, in the singu- 
lar only • as, aller 9Md)ttntm, all riches ; alle 9)?adjt, all 
power ; atfeS ©olb, all gold ; biefe3 a\lt$ (not alie) hrifl 
id; gcuett, all this will I give ; tteldjeS afleS, all which. Pla- 
ced &<?/b?-e a pronoun, which latter is followed by a noun, 
the terminations of declension are often omitted ; as, all 
(for atleS) btefeS ©eft), all this money ; all (for aller) biefer 
2£ein, all this wine. In the neuter of the singular, it 
often denotes an indefinite number or amount ; as, alleS,

the plural, the word denotes number ; as, alle SHenffljcn, 
all men ; an alien Orten, in all places : — it is never used 
in the sense of whole, which is expressed by gattj j as, bet 
gan;e $ag, the whole day ; nor is it followed, as in Eng- 
lish, by the definite article ; as, alle3 ©elb (not alleS ba3 
©elb), all the money; — finally, the phrases "all of us," 
"all of you," &c, are in German: reir alle, we all, &c. 
The plural is used like our word every ; as, id) gcf;e alle

§ 54. PRONOUNS. 

In German, as in other languages, will be found a number 
of those words, which, for the sake of convenience, are em- 
ployed as the direct representatives of nouns. These are the 
pronouns. They are divided, according to the particular offices 
which they perform, into six different classes : viz. : Personal, 
Possessive, Demonstrative, Determinative, Relative and Inter- 
rogative.

§ 56. Personal pronouns. 

There are five personal pronouns; namely, id), (I) which 
represents the speaker and is, therefore, of the first person m 
bu, (thou) which represents the hearer or person addressed, 
and is therefore, of the second person ; and cr, (he) fie, (she) 
and e3, (it) representing the person or thing merely spoken of % 
and, therefore, of the third person. They are declined thu3

§ 57. Remarks on the Personal Pronouns. 

(1) The genitives, mem, bein, fein, are the earlier forms. 
The others (meiner, beiner, feincr) are the ones now commonly 
used. 

(2) "When construed with the prepositions JjalGen, toegen, 
and utti-luttten, (signifying for the sake of, on account of) these 
genitives are united with the preposition by the euphonic letters, 
et, or (in case of unfer and euer) simply t. Thus : memettoegen, 
on account ofme; unt tmferthnllen, on account of us, &c. 

(3) The personal pronouns of the third person, when they 
represent things without life, are seldom, if ever, used in the 
dative, and never in the genitive. In such instances, the corres- 
ponding case of the demonstrative bet, bie, ba8, is employed : 
thus, beffen, (of this,) instead of feiner; and beren, (of these,) 
instead of tfyter. 

(4) The word fefljfi or felBer (self, selves) may, also, for the 
greater clearness or emphasis, be added not only to the pro- 
nouns, but even to nouns. Thus ; 3d) fef&jt, I myself ; bie %tutt 
fettjft, the people themselves. 

(5) Here, too, observe, that the personal pronouns have, 
also in the plural, a reciprocal force. Thus : fie IteBen fid), they 
love one another. But as fie liefcen fid), for example, might 



REMARKS ON THE PERSONAL PRONOUNS. § 57. 311 

signify, they love themselves, the Germans, also, use the word 
einanbcr, (one another) about which there can be no mistake : 
as, fie ItdJen ein.anber (§ 60.) 

(G) In polite conversation, the Germans use the third per- 
son plural, where we use the second. Thus: 3d) f)oGe <Sie ge» 
fcr/en, I have seen you. To prevent misconception, the pronouns 
thus used are written with a capital letter; as, id) banfe 3(;nen, 
I thank (them) you. A similar sacrifice of Grammar to (sup- 
posed) courtesy, may be found in our own language. For 
we constantly use the plural for the singular ; thus : " How are 
you'V instead of "How art thou?" The Germans proceed 
just one step beyond this, and besides taking the plural for 
the singular, take the third person for the second. With them, 
our familiar salutation "How do you do ?" would be, " How 
do they do ?" 

(7) It must be observed, however, that the second person 
singular, £>u, is always as in English, used in addressing the 
Supreme Being. It is, also, the proper mode of address among 
warm friends and near relatives. But it is, also, used in angry 
disputes, where little regard is paid to points of politeness. 
The second person plural is employed by superiors to their 
inferiors. The third person singular er, fie, is used in the lika 
manner, that is, by masters to servants, &c. 

(8) The neuter pronoun (e3) of the third person singular, 
like the words it and there in English, is often employed, as a 
nominative, both before and after verbs, singular- and plural, 
as a mere expletive ; that is, more for the purpose of aiding the 
sound than the sense of the sentence. In this use, moreover, 
it is construed with words of all genders. Thus : (S3 ifi bee 
Warm, it is the man ; (S3 ifi bie %xau, it is the woman ; (S3 ftnb 
Wanner, they are men ; (S3 bonnert ; it thunders ; (S3 folgten 
fciele, there followed many, &c. &c. 

When (S3 is thus used with a personal pronoun, the arrange- 
ment of the words is precisely the reverse of the English. 
Ex. : 3d) bin e3. It is I. £u Eijt e3, It is thou. Sic ftnb e3, 
It is they, &c. 






312 possessive pronouns. § 58.

(2) By their forms, therefore, these pronouns indicate the 
person and number of the nouns which they represent ; that 
is, the person and number of the possessors. As, moreover, 
they may be declined like adjectives, they, also, make known 
by their terminations, the gender, number and case of the 
nouns with which they stand connected : for, in respect to 
inflection, a possessive pronoun agrees in gender, number and 
case, not with the possessor, but with the name of the thing 
possessed. 

(3) The possessive pronouns, when conjunctive, that is, 
when joined with a noun, are inflected after the old form of 
declension ; except in three places (nom. sing. masc. and nom. 
and ace. neuter), in which the terminations are wholly omitted ; 
Uius, — 



* Formerly, in ceremonious addresses, the words 2)evo (old gen. plural of 
)cv, that person) and Sbvo (old gen. plural of er, he), were used instead of 
i§\xn {your) and 3ff>r (her) ; as, Sfyvo SJiajeffcat, her majesty, &c. 

(Sucv was formerly written eroev, and the syllable (Stt). as an abbreviation 
is used in address to persons of high rank, with the verb in the plural 
Ex. (§iu. SJJajeftdt foaben befobjen, your majesty has ordered. 

t Note that in declining unfev and euer, the e, before r, is often struck 
ouf thus, 

unfm (for nnfevev), wnfve (for uitfeve), unfreS (for unfeveS), &c 

euver (for eucier), eure (for euer?), eureS (for euere.8), &c.

(4) When, however, these pronouns are absolute, that is, 
when they stand alone, agreeing with a noun understood and 
demanding a special emphasis, the terminations proper to the 
three places noted above, are of course affixed : thus, biefcr 
»£>nt ifi mein e r, ntcfyt bein e r, this hat is mine, not thine ; bie*- 
feS 33 uc^ tji mein e 3, this book is mm«. 

(5) But when a possessive pronoun absolute is preceded by 
the definite article, it then follows the New form of declen- 
sion : thus,

A.

(6) Often, too, in this case, the syllable t g is inserted, but 
without any change of meaning : thus, 

Singular. Plural. 

Masc. Fern. Neut. For all genders. 

N. ber meinige, bie meinige, ba3 meinige; bie meinigen. 

G. be8 meinigen, ber meintgen, be8 meinigen j ber meintgen. 

D. bem meinigen, ber meinigen, bem meinigen; ben meintgen. 

A. ben meinigen, bie meinige, ba3 meinige ; bie meintgen. 

(7) When, finally, a possessive pronoun is employed as a 
predicate, and merely denotes possession, without special em- 
phasis, it is not inflected at all ; thus, ber ©arten ifi mein, the 
garden is mine ; bie ©tuBe ijl bein, the room is thine ; ba3 
»#au3 ifi fettt, the house is his. 



814 INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. $ 59. 

(8) It should be added that tue Germans, when no ol n> 
rity is likely to grow out of it, often omit the possessive pro- 
noun, where in English it would be used : the definite article 
seeming sufficiently tc supply its place ; as, 3rf> t;a6c e0 in ben 
43anben, I have it in the hands ; that is, I have it in my hands 
(5r natjm e3 auf bte <2d)ultent, he took it upon the (his) shoul 
ders ; (Sr X;at ben 5lrnt gefcrocfyen, he has broken (the) an arm 
or his arm 

§ 59. Indefinite Pronouns. 

(1) Pronouns employed to represent persons and things in 
a general way, without reference to particular individuals, are 
called indefinite pronouns. Such are these, 

3)2 an, one ; a certain one. 
Semanb, some one ; somebody. 
Ottemcmb, no one ; nobody. 
Scbermanit, * every one ; everybody. 

(2) The German man (like the French on) is used to in- 
dicate persons in the most general manner : thus, man fagt, 
one says ; that is, they say, people say, it is said, &c. It is in- 
declinable, and is found only in the nc inative ; when, there- 
fore, any other case would be called for, the corresponding 
oblique case of e i n is employed : thus, er roitt e i n e n me 
i)0xm r he will never listen to one, i. e. to any one. 

(3) 3emanb and -Dliemanb are declined in the following 
manner : 

Singular. 
N. Semanb, somebody. ^iemanb, nobody. 

G. Semanbg or 3emanbe3. 9?iemanb8 or DliemanbeS, 

D. Semanb or Semanbem. Sftiemanb or Oftemanbem. 

A. Semanb or Semanben. 9ttemanb or Oliemanben. 

* The following, which also belong to this list of indefinites, have already 
5>een heated of under the head of indefinite numerals : viz. 

QrtroaS, something. 3eftl<dKi\ each; everyone. 

SRictt?, nothing. (vint^e, somewhat; some. 

Reiner, no one ; none. C*t!id)e, some; many. 

(Stncr, one ; some one. 91 Her, every one ; all. 

Seber, each; every one. 2ftaucf)er, many a; nany; several. 

Sebaeber each ; every one 



REFLEXIVE AND RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS. J 60. 315 

"Seberutann is declined thus : 

N. Scbermamt, everybody. 

G. 3cbermann3, of everybody. 

D. Sebermamt, to everybody. 

A. 3ebermamt, everybody. 

^4) Note that the second form of the dative (^emairbetn, 
Stfiemanbem) is seldom employed except when the other fcrm 
would leave the meaning ambiguous. Thus, e3 ifl -9?tentanbem 
nufcltd), it is useful to nobody ; where, were w 9]temanb" used, 
the sense might be, nobody is useful. This remark applies, 
also, to the accusative : as, fie liefrt 9iiemanben, she loves no- 
body : in which instance, were the other form (9ttemanb) sub- 
stituted, it might mean, nobody loves her. 

§ 60. Reflexive and Reciprocal Pronouns. 

(1) When the subject and the object of a verb are iden- 
tical, the latter being a personal pronoun, the pronoun is said 
to be reflexive ; because the action is thereby represented as 
reverting upon the actor : thus, cr ru1)mt fid), he praises him- 
self. 

(2) When, however, in such case, the design is to represent 
the individuals constituting a plural subject as acting one upon 
another, the pronoun is said to be reciprocal : thus, fie fcefd)tm* 
}>fen fid), they disgrace one another. 

(3) But, as (for example) fie fccfdjtmpfen ftd) may equally 
mean, they disgrace themselves, the reciprocal word etncmbet 
(one another) is added to or substituted for fid), wherever 
there is danger of mistake ; as, fie berftefyen fid) emanber ; or fte 
fcerfkfyen einanber, they understand one another. 

(4) In the dative and accusative (singular and plural) the 
German affords a special form for the reflexives ; viz. fid), him- 
self herself, itself, themselves. The personal pronouns, there- 
fore, in all tha oblique * cases, are used in a reflexive sense ; 
except in the dative and accusative {third person), where, in- 
stead of i()m, tf;n, tJjr. k., the word fid) is employed. Re- 

* All cases, except the nominative, are called oblique cases.

§ 61. Demonstrative Pronouns. 

(1) The peculiar office of a demonstrative pronoun is to 
point out the relative position of the object to which it refers 
Of these there are three : 

biefer, this (pointing to something near at hand) ; 

jener, that (indicating something remote') ; 

ber, this or that (referring to things in either position):

§ 62. Observations on the demonstratives. 

(1) The neuters biefeS (contract form bteS), jcnc3 and baS, 
are, like e3 (§134. 1.) employed with verbs, without distinc- 
tion of gender or number : thus, bte§ ift etn 9J?cum, this is a 
man ; bteS ffnb SDfanfdjen, these are men ; jcncS tft cine ftxau, 
that is a woman ; &c. 

(2) £iefer, when denoting immediate proximity, signifies 
"this ;" as, in biefer 2Be(t ift alle3 ijergangltcr), in this world all 
is transitory. More generally, however, it answers in use to 
u that." 3ener always denotes greater remoteness than biffti^ 



318 DETERMINATIVE PRONOUNS. § 63. 

and signifies "that" "yon" '■'■yonder ;" as, jcncr Stem ifl faum 
t\d)thax, that (or yonder) star is hardly visible. 

Sener and biefcr, when employed to express contrast or com- 
parison, cften find their equivalents in the English expressions 
"the former" — "the latter ;" "that, that one" — "this, this one." 

(S) The demonstrative ber, bte, ba§, is distinguishable from 
the article, with which it is identical in form, by being uttered 
with greater emphasis, as in the following example : b e r 9ftann 
fyat e$ gefagt, ntdjt Jencr, this man has said it, not that one. 

(4) The form be£ is chiefly found in compounds ; as, be§ * 
toegen, on this account. 

(5) Sometimes ber is, for the sake of greater clearness, 
employed in place of a possessive : as, er malte feinen better 
imb beffcn <£>of;n, he painted his cousin and his son ; literally, 
and the son of this one, i. e. the cousin's son. 

(6) The pronouns, both demonstrative and determinative, 
are frequently made more intensive by the particle eft en, even ; 
very : etjen biefe 33Iume, this very flower ; efcm baS Jttnb, that 
same child ; eften berfelfce, the very same. 

§ 63. Determinative Pronouns. 

(1) The pronouns of this class are commonly set down 
among the demonstratives. Their distinctive feature, however, 
is that of being used where an antecedent is to be limited by 
a relative clause succeeding, and so rendered more or less pro- 
minent or emphatic : thus, ber, toelcf)er flug ^anbelt, berbient £c;&, 
he {that man) who acts wisely, deserves praise. From this 
use they derive the name determinative. They are 

ber, that ; that one ; he ; 

fcerientge, that ; that person (strongly determinative) ; 

berfelbe, * the same (denoting identity) ; 

feI6tger, the same (seldom used) ; 

fotd)er, such (marking similarity of kind or nature). 

(2) SDer, when used in connection with a noun, is declined 
like the demonstrative ber ; that is, like the definite article : 

* Where two words precede, dther of which might be taken for the ante* 



RELATIVE PRONOUNS. § 64. 



319 



when used absolutely, it differs from the demonstrative ber on- 
ly in the genitive plural : taking b e r c r instead of b e r e n. 

(3) 3)erjentge and berfe!6e are compounded of bcr and the 
parts jeriige and felfce respectively. In declining, both parts of 
each must be inflected • ber, like the article, and jettige and felOe 
after the New form of adjectives : thus,

§ 64. Relative Pronouns. 



(1) The proper office of a relative pronoun is to represent 
an antecedent word or phrase ; but, while so doing, it serves 
also to connect the different clauses of a sentence. The Rela- 
tives in German are these : 



cedent of a personal pronoun of the third person, berfetbc is used to prevent 
doubt: thus, tec £kter fdjrtcb feinem Sobue, bevfelbe muffe uctci) bonbon retfen, 
the father wrote the son, that he (bevfdbe, the last one named, i. e. the son) 
must set out for London. 



* When cut comes after 
cm attaint, suah a man. 



)er, the latter is not inflected at all ; as, fcldj> 



t Nearly synonymous with Soldier are the words, lieSgletdjett, ?>eva,fefrr)ett, 
fftueSitleiitcii, tbyegajeidjert. all which are indeclinable; as/tcf) babe feineu Um= 
gang mtt beraletdjcii Seufeit, I have no mtercourse with such people. 2B« 
Hitter eu4) tfl fetnesgtetc^en V Who among you is his equal 1

§ 65. Observations on the Relatives. 

(1) Of the pronouns declined above, h? etcher, toetdje, 
to e 1 d) c 0, is the only one that can be used in conjunction with 
a noun, after the manner of an adjective : thus, n?eld)er SERamt, 

* © o is really an adverb used as a relative. 

t 9Ber has no plural, but like " e$, " is sometimes used before plural verbs 
Example : 2Bcr fitiD btefe ^eute 'i Who are this people'? 

t This dative is supplied by an adverbial compound ; as, roojtt, IWO-r- JU) 
whereto, or to which. SBomtt, where-with, with what, t»o»on, whereof, o/ 
what, &c. 



OBSERVATIONS ON THE RELATIVES. § 65. 321 

which man; (not n?er SKann;) and, except when so joined with 
a noun, the genitive (both Sing, and Plural) of ireldjer is never 
used, but. in place of it, the corresponding parts of ber; that 
is, bejfen, beren, beffen, for the Singular, and bcren, for the plural; 
as. ber 2)Zaim, bcffen (not h?eld)e3) Sfteunb id) bin, the man, 
whose friend I am ; bte 3Baume, beren (not m ;lrf)er) £Blutt}en afc* 
gefaQen ftnb, the trees whose blossoms have fallen off. 

(2) 5£)er, bte, ba3, as a relative, like the English word that, 
is used as a sort of substitute for the regular relative. Thus 
(See obs. next above) its genitive is employed in place of that 
of n? el d) e r, because the genitive of the latter, (roelc^eS, rcctdjer, 
trcldjeS,) being the same in form as the nominative masc. and 
neuter, might occasion mistake. So alter the pronouns of the 
first and second person, (and of the third, when used for the 
second,) rcetcfrer is never employed, but ber, thus: 

tr)rt fat;, I, who saw him. 

unS fegneft, thou, who blessest us. 

t)ter ticrfammclt finb, we, who are here as- 
sembled, 
euer 33atcrlanb liefct, ye, who love your 

country, 
mir Sctjtimmten, ye, who agreed with 

me. 
2)er, bte, ba§, after folcfter, is equivalent to the English "as" : 
thus, felc&e, bie an SBaumen roacr>ft, such as grows on trees. 

(3) $8 er, ro a 3, is an indefinite relative employed where- 
ever any uncertainty exists about the antecedent : thus, fonnen 
<2te mir fagen, roer btefe§ getljatt r)at? Can you tell me, who has 
done this ? 3d) tretfj ntcht, roa3 er fagte, I do not know, what 
he said. 

(4) Often frer, n?a», has at once the force of both a rela- 
tive and an antecedent ; as, toer auf bem 3Bege ber £ugenb lean* 

* In each case, it will be noted, the personal pronoun is repeated after the 
relative. In translating, of course the pronoun repeated, is to be omitted ; ot 
the order of the words being reversed ad) ber, instead of ber idj) the rendering 
may be : 1,1 who saw, &c. It must be added, that, when the pronoun is not 
repeated, the verb will be in the third per=on and in agreement with the re 
lative : as, tu warfi e§, ber e» mir fagte, thou wast the one, that (old tw» sc

toa3 geredjt ifi, berbicnt £ofc, wAa£, or */*«£ w/«cA is right, de- 
serves praise. 

(5) SB c r alwayu begins a clause or sentence and never 
comes after th ) word which it represents ; fr> a § may, or may 
not begin a clause, and may or may not come after its proper 
antecedent : thus, toet md)t Ijoren toW, bet muf fufyfett, he who 
will not hear, must feel ; id) [age, tva$ id) tretf, I say what I 
know ; atleS, toa$ id) gefef)en fyafce, all that I have seen ; ftaS 
gered)t ifr, Derbient £olJ, what is right, deserves praise. 

The form it) c f occurs in the compounds toef tt>egen, i»efjl)at&, 
on which or what account. 

(6) SBefdjer, -e, -e6, is often employed as an indefinite 
adjective pronoun. See Lesson 39. 4. 

§ 66. Interrogative Pronouns. 

(1) The interrogative pronouns, that is, those used in ask- 
ing questions, are 

toer, toaS? who? what? 
h? eldjer ? who ? which ? 
toct3 fur ein ? what sort of a ? 

(2) They are the same in form, as the relatives ; or rather 
the relatives themselves employed in a different way. 28 er, 
Xoa8, and it>eld)et, toelcfye, freldjeS, are declined just as when they 
are relatives, except that toetdjer, -e, — e8, when interrogative 
never adopts the genitive of ber. 

(3) 2Ber and n?a3 (ivho ? what ?) can never be joined with 
a noun. They are used when the question is put in a manner 
general and indefinite. SBeldjet, toeld)e, h?etd)e§, on the other 
hand, has a more definite reference, and may be employed ad- 
jeotively : thus, fteldjet Sftarnt? .which man? &c. 

(4) 2Ba3 fur ein (literally, what for a?) is a form used in 
inquiring as to the hind, quality or species of a thing : as, tt>a3 
fur ein 2D?ann ? what sort of a man ? toa8 fur erne $rau ? what 
sort of a woman ? tva& fur ein Jtinb ? what kind of a child ? 

(o) The only part of n?a0 fur ein, capable of inflection, is 
ein ; which, when the thing referred to in the question, is ex- 



verbs. § 67. § 68. 



323

understood, ein is inflected like an adjective of the Old form.

§ 67. Observations. 

(1) Observe further that ein, in teaS fur em, is sometimes 
omitted in the singular, especially before words denoting ma- 
terials as, teaS fiir 5<>ug, what sort of stuff ? teaS fiir 2B ein, 
what kind of wine ? 

(2) That teaS fiir ein, and also teeld) (that is, teeldjcr, with- 
out the terminations of declension) are occasionally employed 
in expressions of surprise or wonder ; as, teaS fiir cin 2)totttt, 
or, tectd) cin 2D? aim ! what a man ! 

(3) That teaS is sometimes used for tearunt: thus, teaS 
fdjlagft bu mtcf) ? why strikest thou me ? 



§ 68. TERES. 

(1) A verb is that part of speech which dsfines the condi- 
dition of a subject ; that is, shows whether it acts, is acted 
upon or merely exists. 



324 PARTICIPLES. § 69. 

(2) In respect to form, verbs are either icgular or irregu- 
lar ; simple or compound ; all which will be more fully explained 
nereal'ter. 

(3) In respect to meaning, verbs are active transitive, active 
intransitive, passive, neuter, reflexive, or impersonal. These 
terms have in German the same general signification which they 
have in English. Their application will, however, more large- 
ly appear in subsequent sections. 

(4) The German, like the English verb, has its moods, ten- 
ses, numbers, persons and participles. 

(5) There are jive moods: viz: the Indicative, the Sub- 
junctive, the Conditional *, the Imperative and the Infinitive. 

(6) There are six tenses : viz : the Present, the Imperfect, 
the Perfect, the Pluperfect, the first Future and the second 
Future. 

(V) These names (the names both of the moods and tenses) 
designate in German, just the same things as do the correspon- 
ding ones in English. For their general signification, see the 
paradigms on the pages following ; for more particular expla- 
nation of their uses, see the Syntax. 

§ 69. Participles. 

( 1 ) There are three Participles : viz : the Present, which 
terminates in enb and answers in signification to the English 
participle in ing; as, tofcenb, praism^. 

(2) The Perfect, which, besides prefixing in most cases the 
augment ge ends in verbs of the Old Form, in en or n, and 
in those of the New Form, in et or t ; and has a meaning cor- 
respondent to our participle in ed ; as, getragcn (ge-f-trag-f-en) 
corned; gelobet (ge -h loB ■+- ct) praised. 



* This (the Conditional) is made up of the Imperfect Subjunctive of the 
auxiliary verb w e v t> e it. (which see; and the Present and Perfect Infinitive 
of another verb. It is used to denote what is, also often denoted by the Sub- 
junctive, (Imperfect and Pluperfect I namely, a supjiosed condition of thingst 
i. e. possibility without actuality By some it is treated as a distinct mood: 
by others, it is made to consist of two tenses : its use (which see more at larga 
in the Syntax) is the same in both views. 



AUXILIARY VERBS. § 70 325 

(3) T1.3 Future, which is produced by prefixing the par- 
ticle ju (tc) to the l^rm of the Present Participle, (leftenb) 
thus, ju lobeub, which means to-be-praised, that is 'praiseworthy, 
' (4) The Particle ® c mentioned above, as being generally 
prefixed to the perfect participle, was originally designed, it 
would seem, to indicate completed action. It is commonly 
accounted merely euphonic, or at most intensive. The instan- 
ces in which it is altogether omitted, are these : 

First : in the case of all verbs compounded with inseparable 
prefixes; (See § 94.) as, Belcljrt, (not geBeIeC;rt) informed: 

Second : in the case of verbs from foreign languages, which 
make t 7 e infinitive in iren or ieren: as, fiubirt, (from fut* 
biren), studied ; instead of gefiubirt : 

Third: in the case of the verb toetbeit, when joined as 
an auxiliary to another verb: as, id; Bin geloBt tocrben, (not 
getoorben) I have been praised. 

§ 70. Auxiliary Verbs. 

(1) In German the auxiliary verbs are usually divided into 
two classes. 

(2) The first class consists of three verbs, without which 
no complete conjugation can be formed. They are l)ahtn, to 
have, fein, to be, and toerben, to become. These verbs, though 
chiefly employed as auxiliaries, are often themselves in the con- 
dition of principal verbs. In that case, they aid one another 
in the formation of the compound tenses. A glance at the 
paradigms will show, how this is dene. 

(3) As auxiliaries, these three verbs enter into the composi- 
tion of the compound tenses, active and passive, of all classes 
of verbs. 

(4) <§ a B e n is used in forming the perfect, pluperfect and 
second future tenses in the active voice: thus, from £oBen, to 
praise, we have 

Perf. d) \) a B c geloBt, I have praised. 

Plup. id) fy a tt c geloBt, I had praised. 

2. Fut. id) toerbe geloBt I; aB e n, I shall have praised 



326 REMARKS ON THE USE OF $0&ett AND feltt. § 71. 

(5 ) <& c i tt is used in forming the perfect, pluperfect and 
Beiond future tenses, both in the active and passive; thus, from 
lofcm, to praise and toad) fen, to grow. 

Active. Passive. 

Perf. id) B i n getoadjfen, id) B i n getoBt rootben, 

I have * grown. I have * been praised. 

Plup. id) h? at gctoacfyfen, id) roar getoBt itjorben, 
I had grown. I had been praised. 

2. Fut. id) fretbe gett>ctd;fen fc in, id) rcetbe getoBt icovben f ein, 
I shall have grown. I shall have been praised. 

(6) 2B erb e tt is used in forming the future tenses ind the 
conditionals f : thus, from loBen, to praise, we have 

Futures. Conditionals. 

1. id) it> cr be toBen, id) iuiirbe loBen, 

I shall praise. I would praise. 

2. id) to e r b c geloBt fyabm, id) TO ur be geloBt tyctBen; 

I s/ia^ have praised. I should have praised. 

§ 71. Remarks on the use of tyaBett and feirt. 

(1) As the Perfect and Pluperfect tenses of verbs must be 
conjugated, sometimes with I) a B e n and sometimes with feirt, 
it becomes important to know when to use the one and when 
the other. The determination of this question depends chiefly 
upon the signification of the main verb. The general rules 
are these : 

(2) 4?aBett is to De use( i m conjugating all active transitive 
verbs, all reflective verbs, all impersonal verbs , all the auxiliaries 



* It will be noticed here, that wherever, in the formation of these tenses, 
any pan of f e i n occurs, it is Englished by the corresponding part of the verb 
Ij a b e II : thus, id) b i n gewacfyfen, I have grown, &c. This grows out of the 
necessity of suiting the translation to our language, which in these places re- 
quires the verb have. 

t It is, also, employed with the perfect participle of a principal verb, to form 
the Passive voice ; (See §84). IS ote, also, above that iuert>e and roitvbe 
are rendered by their equivalents {shall and should) in the conjugation o< 
the English verb. 



REMARKS ON THE USE OF ^oBetl AND feltt. § 71 



327 



of the second class (viz. bftrfen, {fatten, niogen, trollcn, fotlcn, 
muffcn and lajfen), and many intransitives. 

(3) (2em is to be used in conjugating all intransitives, sig- 
nifying a change of the condition of the subject ; as, gebctc/en, 
to prosper j genefcn, to recover ; rcifen, to ripen ; fdjnu'nben, 
to dwindle ; fterben, to die; all those indicating motion towards 
or from a place ; eilen, to hasten • get)en, to go ; rotten, to ride ; 
ftnfen, to sink ; and, also, all verbs in the passive voice. 

(4) Some verbs take, in the formation of these tenser, 
either fyafcen or fein, according as they are employed in one 
sense or in another. This, however, will be best understood 
by practice in reading and speaking. The following are ex- 
amples :

§ 74. Auxiliaries of the second class. 

(1) The second Class of auxiliaries embraces the following : 

3d) mag, I am allowed ; {may ;) 3d) barf, I am permitted ; I dara. 

3* will, I will ; (purpose ;) 3d) nutfj, I am obliged ; (must.) 

3d) fell, I am obliged ; {shall ;) 3d) laffe, I let. 
3d) toxin, I am able ; {can ;) 

(2) These verbs are, for the most part, very irregular in conjuga- 
tion, and serve simply the purpose of modifying with the ideas of 
liberty, possibility, or necessity, other verbs ; which latter are in thai 
case required to be in the infinitive mood ; thus er mag ladien, he 
may (has permission to) laugh ; id) fann fdiretben, I can (am able to) 
write ; where ladien and fdmnben are both in the infinitive, governed 
respectively by m a g and faun. 

(3) In the perfect and pluperfect tenses, however, the past par 
ticiple of these verbs is used only, when the principal verb is not ex 
oressed. Its place is supplied, in such cases, by the infinitive, the 
translation of course being the same in either case, as : 

3d) l;abe if>n fcfjen fonnen (instead of gelonnt) ; 

I have been able to see him. 
(£x I;at tpavteu muftVn (instead of gemuf t) ; 

he was obliged to wait. 
Sftan fjatte uber Hjn tadicn mogeu (instead of gemod)t) ; 

one might have laughed at him. 
©r f)o,t bent 93cfe'l)te nidit gefycrdmt frcllen (instead of getoollt) ; 

he has not been willing to obey the command. 
3d) fyabe fein (Seljeimnijj tmjfen biirfen (instead of gebutft) ; 

I have been allowed to know his secret. 
@ie fyattt e$ tfyun foEett (instead of gejottt) ; 

she ought to have done it. 



838 CONJUGATIONS OF VERBS. $ 75. 

<&k fyuben tyn getjcn Ictfien (instead of gctaffen) ; 
they have suffered him to go- 

For a full display of the forms of these verbs* aiid for fir the* 
remarks on their uses, see the Section on the Mixed Conjugation 
S83. 



§ 75. Conjugation of Verbs. 

(1) There are two conjugations of verbs : the Old and the New, 
The difference between them lies mainly in the mode of forming the 
Imperfect Tense and the Perfect Participle. 

(2) The verbs of the Old form are commonly denominated "Ir- 
regular* Verbs." But, as nearly all the primitive verbs in the lan- 
guage are conjugated in this way, and few, except the derivative 
verbs (now the larger class), ever assume the other form, it is the 
custom of the best German grammarians to adopt the classification 
which we have given. This will occasion no confusion or incon- 
venience to those who prefer the common classification : since it is 
only necessary to remember that the things are the same, though the 
names have been changed. 

(3) In order to afford the ready means of comparing the tcrmu 
national differences between the Old and the New forms of conjuga- 
tion, we subjoin the following tabular view of the simple lenses ard 
participles, in which alone differences of this kind can exist. 

(4) In the compound tenses, the auxiliary alone being subjected 
to terminational variation, the mode of inflecting these tenses be- 
comes of course perfectly uniform in all classes of verbs. Hence to 
secure a complete acquaintance with the forms of the compound 
tenses, little more is necessary than a bare inspection of the para, 
digms. 



* Except Iflffcn {to let) which is not there, because it does not belong to the 
Mixed conjugation. This verb is used either in permitting or commanding : 
as, id) tyabe il)ti gefyen laffert, I have allowed him to go; id) babe thit font men 
laffni, I have ordered him to come, which two meanings are near akin. IVhen 
used with a reciprocal pronoun, it has its equivalent in such phrases as, is to, 
ought to, may ; as, bag lajjt ftcfo nid)t tbuti that is not to be done; literally, doe$ 
not allow itself to be done. The i lfinitive active ifter laffeu, must often bd 
translated passively.

340 verbs of the old conjugation. $ *l*l. 

Observations on the preceling table. 

(1) Observe, in the table above, that the terminations in all pla. 
ces, except the Imperfect of the New form, are to be added directly 
to the root. In the place excepted {Imperfect of the New form), there 
comes between the root and the personal ending, a sort of tense-sign 
(et 01 t), which is not necessary to verbs of the Old form : because 
in them the Imperfect is made by means of a change in the radical 
vowel. 

(2) It may,- also, be noticed that a characteristic difference in 
form, between the Indicative and the Subjunctive (3d person sing ) 
is that the former ends in et or t, the latter always in c ; and that 
the personal ending in the first and third person sing, of the Imper- 
fect of the Old form, is wholly omitted. 

(3) It may further be observed, that the e in the terminations 
eft and et, of the Indicative, is retained or omitted just according to 
what is demanded by euphony. In the Subjunctive, for the most 
part, the full termination is preserved. 

(4) For the same reason, also, that is, for the sake of euphony, 
when the root of a verb ends in el or er, the vowel e of any termi- 
mation beginning with that letter, is commonly omitted ; as, r/am* 
merit (not Ijdmmer e n), to hammer ; fcimmeln (not fammel e n), to col- 
lect. Sometimes, however, the e of the root is rejected : as, id) 
fammte (not (amm e le), I collect. 

§ 77. Verbs op the Old Conjugation 

{commonly called irregular verbs). 

(1) In the Old Conjugation, the Imperfect Tense and the Perfect 
Participle are distinguished from the Present, chiefly by a change of 
the radical vowels. Thus, in some verbs, a different radical vowel 
is found in each of these three parts : 

Present. Imperfect. Perfect Participle. 

23ttten, beg. S3at, * begged. ©ekten, begged. 

■Oetfen, help. £alf, helped. ©eijjolfert, helped, 

©tmten, reflect. @ann, reflected. ©efounen, reflected. 

£rinfen, drink. %x&\\i, drank. ©etrunfen, drunk. 

* When in the course of the changes noted in the text above, a long vowel 
or diphthong becomes short, the final consonant of the root is doubled, as : 
SRetten, to ride. diitt, rode. ©euttett, ridden. 

Cetben, to suffer. Sttt, suffered. ©elitten, suffered. 

In the case of Sctben, note also, that t> is changed into it* cognate t. 



TKRBS OF THE OLD CONJUGATION. § 77 



341 



(2) In soma the vowel or diphthong in the Imperfect and the 
Participle, is the same, but is different from that in the present : as, 



Present.

■ftlimmen, climb, 
jluren (fufn'cn), choose. 
fceiben, suffer, 
©augen, suck.

©efdni^ben, snorted. 
©efdn'ieo.n, written, 
©ejteben, scattered, 
©etvteben, driven. 
©etregen, betrayed. 
©ewoben, woven. 



(3) In others, the vowel or diphthong of the Present is changed 
in the Imperfect, but resumed in the participle : as, 



Present. 

©lafett, blow, (sound) 
gotten, fall. 
Sangen, catch, 
©ebcn, give. 
£>angen, hang, 
tfommen, come. 
8aufen, run. 
©(baffen, create, 
©djlogea, beat. 
©efyen, see. 
Steven, pusn. 
JEreten, tread. 



Imperfect. 

©He*, blew, 
giet, fell. 
Sing, caught. 
©ab, gave. 
£ing, hung, 
jtenn, came. 
2icf, run. 
©dmf, created. 
©d)lug, beat. 
©a(), saw. 
©tiejj, pushed. 
%xai, trod. 



Perfect Participle. 

©ebtcifeit, blown, 
©efattcn, fallen, 
©efangen, caught, 
©egeben, given, 
©efangen, hung, 
©efommen, come, 
©elaufen, run. 
©efdiaffen, created. 
®efd)lagen, beaten. 
©efefyen, seen, 
©efkpen, pushed, 
©etreten, trodden. 



When, on the other hand, a short vowel is ihua made long, the second ol 
two radical consonants is ommitted : as, 
©itteu, to beg ; 33at, begged ; 

ftommen, to come ; itam, came : 



©ebetett, begged. 
©efommen, come

342 VERBS OF THE OLD CONJUGATION. $ 77. 

(4) Besides the vowel changes indicated above, verbs of the an. 
eient (conjugation have the following characteristics: 

a. The Perfei t part eiple ends in e n or n, and is thereby dis« 
tinguished from that of the New Form, which terminates in e t, oi 
t, thus : 

Old Form. New Form. 

©efyotf en, helped; from £elfett. ©debet (gelobt), praised; from 

Scben. 
©efali e n, fallen ; from fatten, ©elieb e t (geliebt), loved ; from 

Siebcn. 
©etrag e n, borne ; from Xragen. ©elab e t (gelabt), quickened ; from 

%aben. 
©cboten, bid^n; from 23ieten. ©ctaufd) e t (getaufd)f), exchanged; 

from £aufd)cu. 

b. Those having a in the first person singular of the Present In- 
dicative, assume the Umlaut in the second and third persons ; thus, 

Indicative. Indicative. 

Present. 

id) fcutge, I catch, id) fd)lctge, I strike, 

bu f d n g fi, thou catchest, bu f d) I a g ft, thou strikest. 

cr fdngt, he catches, er fditdgt, he strikes, 

hur femgen, we catch, ir»ir fdrtagcit, we strike. 

\i)t fcutgt, you catch, tf;t fdilagt, you strike, 

fie fattgen, they catch, jie fd)lagen, they strike. 

c. Those having e (long) in theirs/ person singular of the Pre- 
sent Indicative, take, in the second and third persons, ie ; those, in like 
manner, having e (short,) take in the same places, the vowel i ; and 
in both instances, the Imperative {second person singular) adopts 
the vowel-form of the second person of the Indicative, thus : 

Indicative. Imperative. 

Present. 
id) tefe, I read, wanting, 

bu ti e f e ft, thou readst, It e $ bu (for tiefe).* 

er tie fit, he reads, tefe ev, let him read. * 

* The verbs that thus adopt the vowel-form of the 2. pers. of the Indie, losa 
also the characteristic e final: giving, as above, liefi, for liefe ; btlf for f)tlfe» Sus, 
It should be noted, further, that the unaccented e final, is, in other instances, 
also sometimes omitted.

362 list of verbs of the mixed conjugation. § 81. § 82. 

§ 81. The Mixed Conjugation 

(embracing the irregular verbs properly so called). 

There are a few 7 verbs (sixteen in all), which have a sort of mix^d 
conjugation: partaking of the Old Form, in that they change their 
radical vowels to form the Imperfect Tense and the Perfect Pani- 
ciple ; and at the same time, partaking of the New Form, in that 
they assume, in the same parts, the tense-sign te and the participial 
ending t. These are they which, strictly speaking, are the irregular 
verbs of the language, and accordingly, they are here so classed. 
They will be found, also, in the general List of (so called) "irregular" 
verbs (page 346), which, for the sake of convenience, we have 
there inserted.

PAI^DIGMS OF IRREGULAR VERBS. § 83. 363 

§ 83. Paradigms of irregular verbs. 

(1) In order to a better display of the irregularities of some of 
these -verbs, we append the following paradigms. They will be found 
exceedingly convenient for ready reference. Some of these verbs, 
also, have certain peculiar uses, which require special attention. 
For this reason we have, immediately after the paradigms, added a 
series of explanatory remarks, with copious examples illustrating the 
several wars in wldeh they are employed.

3*78 REMARKS ON butfett, UtllH 

(9) Remarks on iff fen. * 

This vcr; is ojmmonly rendered, to dare, though the primary sense 
seems to be that given above, viz, To be permitted: the signification, 
to dare, is one in which it is now seldom used. The verb is also 
employed (only in the Imperfect Subjunctive, however,) to denote 
what probably may be, and may then be translated by such words as 
might, need, would, &c. : thus, Gfg bitrfte je£t ju fptit fein, it may or 
might be too late now : (S'g biirfte ine(Ietd)t luafjt fein, it might per- 
chance Is true. It also signifies, to need, to have occasion, &c: as, (St 
barf nuv reben, he needs only to speak ; (5r barf fid) banUer nid)t toun* 
tern, he must not or should not wonder at that. When used without an 
infinitive after it, one must be supplied to complete the construction: 
thus, (5: bavf uidjt in bag £aug (fommen), he ventures not {to come) 
into the house. 

(10) Remarks on fonrten. 

The original signification of fonnen was to know, or to know how ; 
nence the present sense, to be at liberty to do a thing, to be able ; 
as, id) farm tefen unb fd}teiben, I can (know how to) read and write. 
Its chief power now, is to indicate bare possibility, and hence it is 
often aptly translated by the English, may: as, Qx fann eg fcerjtanben 
Ija&en, he may (possibly) have understood it. It differs, therefore, 
from bjtvfen, when it (bitvfen) is used (in the Imperfect Subjunctive) 
to express possibility ; for biirfeu not only signifies that the thing 
may be, but that it probably is or will be. Jtcnnen like biirfen, has 
sometimes an infinitive understood after it, to complete the con- 
struction. 

(11) Remarks on mogen. 

SJlogcn marks possibility under allowance or concession from an- 
other : as, (Sx mag lad) en, he may laugh ; that is, he has permission 
to laugh, no one hinders him. ©r mag eht Braver SWann fein, he may 
(I grant) be a brave man; where the possibility of his being a brave 
man, is a thing conceded. Kindred to this are the other significa- 
tions (chance, inclination, wish, &c.) usually attributed to this verb : 
thus, eg modite regnen, it might rain ; that is, the causes that seem to 
forbid, are likely not to operate ; id) modite eg bejroeifcln, I am dis- 
posed or inclined to doubt it, that is, / might, doubt it altogether, but 
for certain circumstances seeming to forbid : mege eg ber £tmmel ge« 
ben, may heaven grant it ; id) mag eg nid)t tlmn, Id: not like to do 
it, that is, I am not permitted by my feelings to do it cheerfully, &c 



[often and woUtn. § 83. 379 

(12) J&emarks on muff en. 

The German muffen and the English must, are very near equiva- 
lents. The predominant power of the word is everywhere that of 
obligation or necessity, and this being kept in mind, it will often be 
convenient to employ in translating it, such words, as, be obliged, am 
to, have need to and the like. Often an infinitive is understood with 
it : as, id) mu{j gitviicf, I must (go) back. 

(13) Remarks on foil en. 

The prime and prevalent use of fotten is to indicate obligation or 
necessity. Whal particular word or phrase shall be employed to 
translate it, in any given case, must be determined by circumstances. 
[t is only necessary always to adhere to the 'primary idea ; for in 
whatever way expressed, that primary sense must be kept in view. 
The following examples will be sufficient to show this: 
©it feUft bci6 tf;un, thou art to (i. e. art obliged to) do that : 
@v foil gel;en, he is to (i. e. is bidden to) go : 
<Sc(( id) c6 Ijaben ? am I to (i. e. am I bound or am I permitted to) 

have it 1 
3)te STotte foil gefdilcigen toerbert fetn, the fleet is said or reported to 

(i. e. must, according to report) be beaten. 
<Sie fetten ilui nid)t bcletbigt fyaben, you are supposed or admitted not 
to (that is, you could not of necessity, in my opinion) have 
offended him. 
2Ba3 fell ber JQut ? what means the (i. e. what must be the meaning 

of the) hat ? 
©enn er femmen fettle, fo to£H id) e$ tt)m fagen, if he should come (i. 
e. should be obligedby circumstances to come) I will tell liim so. 

So with an infinitive understood: toaS .fed i&)V what am I t€ 
(do)? tva3 foil ba^? what signifies that? (i.e. supplying fetn, wha' 
is that to be ?) 

Qx tofiji uid)t roatf er tl;un foil, he does not know what to do. 

(14) Remarks on m o 1 1 e n. 

SBetum implies future purpose: thus, id) frill geljen, I will (to) gv, 
i. e. my purpose is to go. The expression of mere futurity would 
be, id) tuerbe gefyen. Kindred to this is another signification of 
frellen : as, ct n>ill bid) gefefyett fyaben, he wills to have seen you, that 
is, he will have it or affirms, that he saw you.

verbs. § 84. 381 

§ 84. Passive verbs. 

(1) Tie passive voice is formed by adding to the auxiliary fterben 
' y to become,) through all its moods and tenses, the I erfect Participle of 
the main verb, thus: 





Indic. Active. 


Indic. Passive. 


Pres. 


id) lobe, I praise, 


id) tocrbe gelcbt, I am praised. 


Imp. 


idb Icbte, I praised, 


id) tourbe gelcbt, I was praised. 


Per/. 


id) fyafce getobt, 


i&l bin gelcbt toorben, 




I have praised, 


I have been praised. 


Plup. 


id) l)atte gelcbt, 


id) toar gelobt ftorben, 




I had praised, 


I had been praised. 


1. Fui. 


id) tterbe Icben, 


i6^ toerbe gelcbt ftcvben, 




I shall praise, 


I shall be praised. 


2. Ful 


. id) toevbe gelcbt l;aben, 


ii) tterbe gelcbt roorben fern, 




,1 shall have praised, 


I shall have been praised, &c. 



(2) It will be noted, that wherever the perfect participle of the 
main verb (as gelcbt above) is joined with the participle of the auxi- 
liary, the latter is written ftovben, not getocvben, whereby an offensive 
repetition (of the syllable ge) is avoided. Sometimes toorben is alto- 
gether omitted in the past tenses, but this should be avoided. 

(3) The German, by confining toerben with the past participle to 
the expression o£ jiassivily and using fetn, when the participle is to 
be taken as a mere adjective, has a manifest advantage over the Eng- 
lish Passive. Thus, if we wish to say, in German, he is feared, it 
will be, er ft t r b gefixrditet ; if the intention, however, be merely to 
mark the state or character of the person as one who is feared, that 
is, whose character or conduct inspires fear generally, the German 
will be, er i fi gefurditet, he is (a) feared (man.) The form of ex- 
pression in English, it will be observed, is the same foi both ideas : 
•'he is feared." 

(4) The Germans, however, employ the passive form far less fre- 
quently than do the English. They prefer other methods: thus, man 
fagt, one says, i. e. it is said; ber (£d)luftel f)a( jti) gefunber the lev 
has been found.

384 REFLEXIVE VERBB. § €• 

§ 86. Reflexive Verbs. 

(1) A verb is said to be reflexive, when it represent' the subject 
as acting- upon itself. We have several such in English : he deports 
himself well; he bethought himself; they betook themselves to the 
woods; where the subject and the object, in each case, being identi- 
cal, the verb is made reflexive. It is manifest, that any active transi- 
tive verb may thus become a reflexive verb. 

(2) Strictly speaking, however, those only are accounted reflex * 
ives, that can not otherwise be used. The number of these, in German, 
is much larger than in English. Some of them require the reciprocal 
pronoun to be in the Dative, but most of them govern the Accusative : 
thus, (with the Dative,) id) btlbe mir ntcfyi ein, I do not imagine ; (with 
the Accusative,) id) fd)dme mid), I am ashamed. Further examples 
are the following : 

WITH THE DATrVE. WITH THE ACCUSATIVE. 

(Sid) cmmafjen, to presume; usurp. (Sid) anfd)tcfen, to prepare, 

©id) au$bcbingen, to condition. ©id) dufiern, to intimate. 

©id) etubilbcn, to imagine. ©id) bcbcutfen, to be thankful for. 

©id) getrauen, to be confident. ©id) bcbenfen, to pause to think. 

©id) fd)meid)eln, to flatter one's ^>ii) begeben, to repair to ; to 
self. happen. 

©id) ttotnefymen, to propose to ©id) bcfyelfen, to put up with ; to 

one's self. make do 

©id) fcorfteUen, to represent to ©id) freuen, to rejoice. 

one's self. 

<^ld) nubevft>ved)en, to contradict, ©id) toiberfejjen, to resist. 

(3) Since the action of these verbs is confined to the agent, they 
are rightly regarded as intransitives ; for the verb and the pronoun 
under its government, are to be taken together as a single expression 
for intransitive action: thus, id) freue mid), I rejoice myself that is, I 
rejoice, or delight in. 

(4) In like manner, reflexives often become the equivalents of 
passives : as, ber ©diliiffel t;at fid) gefunben, the k« y has found itself 
that k, the key is found or has been found &c. 

(5) In some instances a verb is found to have, both in the simple 
and in the reflexive form, the same signification : as, irren and jiffy 
irren, to err ; to be mistaken. 



mm 



AEFLEXIVE VERBS. $ 86. 



385 



(6) It is worthy of remark, also, that some transitives, upon pass- 
ing into the reflexive form, undergo some change of signification : thus, 
from berufen, to call, comes fid) berufen, to appeal to. It is generally 
easy, however, in these cases, to account for such changes. The 
following are additional examples : 



Q3ebcnfen, to think upon ; 
33efd)etben, to assign; 
gmben, to find ; 
fturd)ten, to fear ; 
aftten, to guard ; 
SJlacfcen, to make ; 
SteUetL to place; 
sCeranrroerfen, to answer for; 
V J3 erg el) en, to pass away ; 
Slerlaftcn, to leave; 



fid) bebenfen, to pause to think. 

fid) bcfdieiben, to be contented 
with, 
fid) finben (in. ertta3), to accommo- 
date one's self to a tbing. 
fid) furd)tcn, to be afraid of. 

fid) fjitten, to beware. 

fid) mad)en (an etftaS), to set 
about a thing, 
fid) ffrtten, to feign, pretend. 

fid) Jjercmftuoricn, to defend one'a 
self, 
fid) »ergeljen, to commit a fault. 

fid) certain, to rely ujoa-

388 COMPOUND VERBS. § 88. § 89. 

§ 88. Impersonal Verbs. 

(1) Th -J impersonal verb, properly so called, is one destitute of 
the first and stcond persons: being confined to the third person sin- 
gular, and having for its grammatical subject the pronoun eg, without 
definite reference to any antecedent, as, 

eg regnet it rains; eg bV?t, it lightens; 

eg fdmett, it snows; eg ft ri, it freezes; 

7.6 bounert, it: thunders; eg t iut, it thaws; 

pg tyagelt, it hails; eg tagt, it dawns. 

(2) It must immediately appear, that a verb may be impersonal* 
and yet belong to any of the classes of verbs described in preceding 
sections. Thus some are transitive : some are intransitive ; some 
art; passive ; some are reflexive ; &c. 

Examples. 

Crg argcrt mid), it vexes me, i. e. I am vexed; 

eg ftiert tfni, it chills him, i. e. he is chilled or frozen; 

eg buugevt mid), it hungers me, i. e. I am hungry; 

eg veifi, there is a hoar frost; 

es fyetfit, it is said ; 

eg teirb Utet bcitton getebct, it is much talked about; 

eg Betftefjet fid), it understands itself, i. e. it is understood ; &c. 

eg fragt fid), it asks itself, i. e. it is asked, it is the question ; 

eg gtebt 95ieufdieu, it gives or ?/teZc?s men, i. e. Zhere are men. 

§ 89. Compound Verbs. 

(1) Various derivative verbs in German are produced by the union 
of simple words with prefixes. * Most of these prefixes are separalle^ 
that is, may stand apart from the radicals ; some, however, are found 
to be inseparable', some are either separable or inseparable, according 
to circumstances. 

(2) The prefixes are themselves, also, either simple or compound ; 
as, i) c v fommen, to come here or hither; b; e x u b e x fommen, to come 



* Under the name of'Prefixes are here comprehended all those invariable 
wnds, (as adverbs and prepositions,) which are combined with other words to 
vary or modify their signification They are, also, often called Particles. The 
simple words with which they are united, are generally verba ; but often nouns 
end adjectives are, by prefixes, converted into verbs. 



SIMPLE PREFIXES SEPARABLE. §.90. S89 

over here, or Jiitl er. In most instances, the prefixes may be trans- 
lated severally as above; but often they are found to be merely in- 
tensive or euphonic. *

* This is likewise often the case in English : thus, ex (which literally signi- 
fies out or out of,) has, in some words the signification very, exceedingly or 
the like ; as, exasperate, to make very angry: so a, (literally, to. at ;) in the 
word ameliorate is merely euphonic ; the derivative form (ameliorate) mean- 
ing nothing more than the sirj pie one, meliorate.

S94 INSEPARABLE PREFIXES. § 93. § 94. 

§ 93 Observations on the Paradigm. 

0) An inspection of the Paradigm above will show, that the so 
paiatim of the prefix from the radical part of the verb, takes place 
in the Indicative, Subjunctive, Imperative, Infinitive (when preceded 
by ju,) and the Perfect Participle. In the Indicative and Subjunc- 
tive, however, the separation is not made, when, in dependent sen- 
tences, the verb is placed at the end of a clause or period : thus, do 
lie Sonne biefen SJlevgcn cutfging, fo ucvfdwanb bcr dhbd. when the sun 
rose (aufgtng) this morning, the fog disappeared. 

(2) In regard to the position of the particle when separated, it 
must be noted that, in the Indicative, Subjunctive and Imperative, it 
stands after the radical ; often, also, after the several words depen- 
dent upon it : thus, id) fange baS 93ud) an, (where a n belonging to 
f an g e, comes after the object,) I begin the book. 

(3) In the Infinitive and the Perfect Participle, on the contrary, 
the particle comes before the radical : being separated from it, in the 
Infinitive, by $u, (when that preposition is employed,) and, in 
the Participle, by the augment g e , which is peculiar to that part of 
the verb: thus, anjufcuigen, (an+jn-f-fangen) to begin; to commence; 
ttorgefteiU, (ycr+ge+ftel(t) placed before one ; represented. 

(4) It remains to be added, that particles, when separated from 
the radicals, receive the full or principal accent ; and, that the radicals 
(if verbs) have the same form of conjugation, old or new, regular 
cr irregular, as when employed without prefixes. 

§ 94. Inseparable Prefixes. 

The Prefixes of this class, as the name implies, are always found 
in close union with their radicals. They allow not even the augment 
syllable g e , in the Perfect Participle, to intervene ; but reject it 
altogether : * as, Ubtdt (not begebeeft) covered, from bebecfen, to 
cover. Neither is $ u (when used) allowed to come between the 
prefix and the Infinitive ; but stands before the two combined into 
one word: as, nt empfangen, (not empjufangen,) to receive: except in 
case of compound prefixes, wherein the first component is a separable 
and the second an inseparable particle ; $ u being then inserted be- 
tween the two particles; as, cutjuerfennen, (from anerfennen). The 
inseparable prefixes are always unaccented. 



* To this, however, must be excepted the case of the Prefix m t p ; which* 
in a few instances, allows the augment <u to be prefixed : thus, (from mijj' 
Ocuten, to misinterpret.) we have, in the Perfect Participle, (jenupfceiitet.

OBSERVATIONS. § 97. 



(2) GNtp and ent. (Snip is, probably, cn'ly another form of 
e u t : occurring, however, only in three verbs; (empftuben, to feel; 
nnpfcmgen, to receive ; empfefylen, to recommend :) and bearing a sense 
but remotely related to its original. The prime and predominant 
power of ent is that of indicating separation, departure, privation. 

In some instances it has the kindred sense of approach or transi- 
tion from one point or condition towards another. Examples. 



©eben, to go. 
3tc()en, to draw. 
S3iitben, to bind. 
£ciupt, the head 

Jtrcift, power. 

23lcbe, dim-eyed, dull, bashful. 

SSreunen, to burn, 
<2prccben, to speak. 



(Sntgefyen, to go away, to get orT. 
(Sntjicfyen, to withdraw. 
(Siitbtnben, to unbind. 
(§utl)aupten, to deprive of head, to 

behead. 
(Jnifr&ften, to deprive of power 

weaken. 
Ghttbloben, to divest of shame, be 

bold. 
Cnttbremien, to take fire, to kindle. 
(Sntfpred)cn, to answer, or 

correspond to. 
(Snt is sometimes, also, merely intensive or euphonic: as, entteercu 
(from leer, empty,) to empty out. 

(3) (£ r and tier. (St, as a genera] thing, conveys the idea of 
getting ox gaining for some one, by means of that which is expressed 
by the word connected with it ; as, e r b i 1 1 e n, to get, or try to get* 
by begging. It finds its exact opposite in tier; which marks what 
is against or away from some one's interest or benefit; as, tierbitten, 
to beg off, to decline. The force and use of these particles are best 
illustrated by examples. 

Ch'bciben, to get or gain by bathing 
Ghfmben, to find out for one's self, 

invent. 
Gh-ftefyen, to arise, originate. 
Qrvbauen, to erect, to produce. 
23erfagen, to speak against, to deny. 
93crmciuern, to wall against, stop 

by wall. 
SSerfptelen, to play away, to lose 

by gambling. 
93erfiil)ren, to lead away, to seduce, 
33evfaljen, to oversalt, spoil m 
salting. 



33aben, to bathe. 
$tubeit, to find. 

©tefycrt, to stand. 
Q3aueu, to build, 
©agett, to say or speak. 
SJlauem, to wall, or make a wall. 

Spielen, to play. 

Rubrcn, to carry, or lead. 
€>al$en, to salt. 



PREFIXES SEPARABLE AND INSEPARABLE. § 98. 39Y 

(4) (§x and iK r are, also, both employed mco averting nouna 
and adjectives into verbs expressive of transition from one state or 
condition into another : thus, 

dtfolten, (fait, cold) to take cold. 93ercbetn, (ebcl, noble) tc ennoble 

Ga-fiUmen, (fiiftu, bold) to become 33ergoitettt, (®ott, God) to deify. 

bold, dare. 

G'vfalnnen, (la(;m, lame) to become 33eraften, (alt, old) to grow old or 

lame. obsolete. 

ZStUaxm, (flat, clear) to make 93cremen, (ehi, one) to make one* 

plain. unite. 

In some instances, moreover, e r and e r are only euphonic or 
intensive. 

§ 98. Prefixes separable and inseparable. 

(1) The Prefixes of this class, when separable, are always under 
the full accent ; when inseparable, the accent falls upon the radical. 

(2) Their effect, when separable, is, in union with radicals to 
produce certain intransitive compounds *, in which each of the parts 
(prefix and radical) has its own peculiar and natural signification. 

(3) Their effect, when inseparable, is, in connection with the ra- 
dicals, to form certain transitive compounds ; which, for the most 
part, are used in a figurative or metaphorical sense. 

(4) We subjoin a list of the prefixes of this class : illustrating 
each by a couple of examples ; the first being one in which the pre 
fix is separable ; the second one in which it is inseparable. 

Oliver, throuo-h • i Surdi'bthtgen, to press or force through; 

^ino), tnrougn , ^ 2)utd)brin'gen, to penetrate. 

c . . i i • j S <5tu / tcraeT)en, to go behind; 

Smter, behind ; } | tet erg^en, to deceive. 

... 5 Ue'berfefcen, to set or put over ; 

Ucber, over; } Ueberfefc'en, 



Urn, around; 



to translate. 
5 Um'gefyen, to go around ; 



\ Umgeb/en, to evade. 

{ Uu'terfcbieften, to sh 

\ Uittevfcbte'bm, to de 
,™. . . ' . 5 SBte'berfielm, to fetch or bring back ; 

ffiieber, again ; br.ck ; } m zbtx1)o<Un, to repeat. 



n , , ( Uu'terfcbieften, to shove or push under ; 

unter, under ; j Uitterfcbie'&en, to defer ; alsc, to substitute. 



* There are, however, some compounds ot b u v eft and nm, in which, 
though these particles are separable, the verbs are, nevertheless, transitive. 
Still, it will be found, that in such cases the signification of the compound is 
figurative ; as, untbrtngen, to oring about (one's death;) i. e. to kill. 



398 ADVERBS FORMED FROM NOUNS. § 99. § 100. $ 101. 

§ 99. "Verbs compounded with nouns and adjectives. 

(J) A variety of compounds is produced by the union of verba 
•vithi-nuns ai.d adjectives. These follow the sauie general laws 
which govern those produced by means of prefixes. Some of them, 
accordingly, are separable ; as, 



^efyifdilacjen, to miscarry ;

(3) These verbs take the augment syllable g e in the perfect 
participle : except yettjicfyen, which has ielljogen. In some cases, 
however, verbs compounded with DoU, also, take the augment; 
as, aoUgcgoffen, from toettgiejjen, to pour full. 

§ 100. THE ADVERBS. 

(1) Adverbs in German, as in other languages, servo to modify 
1he signification of verbs, participles, adjectives and, often, also that 
of one another : denoting, for the most part, certain limitations of 
time, place, degree and manner. Hence are they usually classified 
according to their meaning. 

(2) They are indeclinable ; and formed, either by derivation or 
composition, from almost every other part of speech : of some, how- 
ever, the origin is wholly unknown. 

Arranged according to derivation, adverbs are divisible into the 
following classes : 

§ 101. Adverbs formed from nouns. 

Adverts are formed from nouns by affixing the letter $. This 
termination $ is nothing more than the sign of the genitive singukii; 



ADVERBS FORMED FROM ADJECTIVES. § 102. 



399 



which case, not only of nouns, but also of adjectives* partieif les, 
&c. is often made to perform the office of an adverb. * Exam 
pies: 



SRergrnd, in the morning ; 
&beubg, in the evening; 
%&$$, in the day ; 
%i)til3, in part, or partly ; 
%ku}e, swiftly; 
SuvchgehenbS, generally ; 

3ufet;cnb6, visibly ; 



from ber Sftergen, morning. 

„ bev 3tbcnb, evening. 

„ bev Sag, day. 

„ ber %iy:\{, part. 

„ ber glug, flight. 

„ burchgefyenb, passing 
through. 

„ $ufeC;enb, looking at 



§ 102. Adverbs formed from adjectives. 

(1) Adverbs are formed from adjectives by the addition of the 
suffices (id), i) a f t and U n g g ; which, except the last, are also 
regular adjective terminations. These endings are chiefly expressive 
of maimer ; and may be translated sometimes by a corresponding 
Miffix v as the English ly or ishly), and sometimes by some equi- 
alent phrase. Examples : 



9Ba1jrlidi, fcraly ; verily ; 
93p£ijaft, maliciously ; 
SBeiStid), wisely ; 

ftveilicn, sure ; to be sure 
JBlinblingS, blindly ; 



from roctljr, true. 

„ bofe, evil ; wicked. 
„ torife, wise. 
„ fret, free ; sure. 
„ fclhib, blind. 



^2) The letter $, also, as above stated, added to adjectives, gives 
rl e to a class of adverbs : * thus, 



SJccrito, on the right ; 
Sinfy, on the left ; 
Sluberd, otherwise ; 
23ereir3, already; 
SBefonberS, particularly ; 
t&kts, continually ; 



from vecht, right. 
„ linf, left. 
„ anber, other. 
„ bereit, ready. 
„ befenber, particular. 
„ fret, continual. 



(3) Here note, also, that almost all German adjectives, in the 
absolute form, that is, in the simple form without the terminations oj 



* The letter 8 is, also, sometimes affixed to adverbs ending in lit a I ; as, 
oouivJ.s formerly; bamalS, at the time; lurimalS. many times. For nu- 
meral adverbs ending in nul, Set, &,c. See the Section on Numerals. 



*00 



ADVERBS FORMED FROM PRONOUNS § 103. 



declension, are employed as adverbs : thus, er remit fcfynetl, hi runa 
rapidly ; ev (jaubett efyvlid), he acts honestly. 



§ 103. Adverbs formed from pronouns. 

(1) These are, chiefly, ba, there; from ber, bie, ba$, this or that ; 
it>o, where ; from ft>er, ft>a3, who, what ; i)er, hither, and fytn, thither ; 
Prom some corresponding demonstrative pronoun no longer found. 

(2) The pronominal adverbs in combination with other words, 
give rise to a number of compounds. Thus ba and wo, united with 
prepositions, serve often instead of the dative and accusative (neuter) 
of the pronouns ber, Wtr and welcl)er, respectively. It will be no- 
ticed, that when the other word begins with a vowel or with the let- 
ter it, ba and roo are written bar and Wor ; that is, that r is inserted 
for the sake of euphony. The follovving are compounds of ba and 
wo : 



JDabet. thereby, 

i. e. by this or that, 
©afitr, therefor, 

i. e. for this or that. 
IDamit, therewith, 

i. e. with this or that. 
£)avin, therein, 

i. e. in this or that. 
Davunter, thereunder or among, 

i. e. under this or that. 
2) arum, thereabout or therefor, 

i. e. for this or that ; therefor. 

SDatcm, thereon, 

i. e. on this or that 
SDarauf, thereupon, 

i. e. upon this or that. 
©avaug, therefrom, 

i. e. from this or that.

ADVERBS F0RM2J) BY COMPOSITION. § 104. § 105. 401 

(3) In like manner t)er and r/tn appear, also, combined with 
other .vords. Between these two particles a distinction exists, 
wherever they are used, whether alone or in composition with othei 
words, which should be well understood and always remembered. 
They are, in signification, exact opposites : fyev indicating motion or 
direction towards the speaker; f)tn implying motion or direction 
away from the speaker. The following are examples : 

«&era&, down hither (i. e. where £inab, clown thither (i. e. away 
the speaker is). from the, speaker). 

«£erauf, up hither. <§inauf, up thither. 

<£>erau3, out hither. ^>Btau3, out thither. 

herein, in hither ; into this place. «£>tncin, into that place. 

«§ierl)er, or fyieljer, hither here; <£>ied)tn, thither; this way for- 
tius way. ward. 

^eruber, over hither. «£>tnuber, over thither. 

§erunter, under hither. «£>munter, under there. 

2>af;er. from there hither, i. e. 2)af)ht, from thither (to) there, 
thence i. e. thither. 

SBofyer, from which p.ace hither, SGBoI; in, from which place thither, 
i. e. whence. i. e. whither. 

(4) We have no words in English, corresponding exactly in use 
and force with fyer and l)in ; and therefore, though everywhere in 
German their force may be felt, it cannot always be expressed by 
single words, in translation. Hence are they often treated as ex. 
pletives. 

§ 104. Adverbs formed from verbs. 

(1) Adverbs are formed from verbs by suffixing to the radical 
part the termination 1 i d). All adverbs so formed, however, are 
equally employed as adjectives : thus, 

©tcutBltcfy (from glcmb-f-en, to believe), credibly. 
(gtevMidi (from ftevb-f-en, to die), mortally. 
Jtldglid) (from flag-f-en, to lament), lamentably. 
SKerfltd) (from merf+en, to note; perceive), perceptibly. 

§ 105. Adverbs formed by composition. 

(1) Besides the classes given above, a numerous list of adverbs 
in German is produced by the union of various parts of speech. 
Thus, the word SSetfe (mode, manner), combined with nouns, 
forms a class of adverbs employed chiefly in specifying things indi 



iOI COMPARISON OF ADVERBS. § 106. 

rick ally or separately: thus, fcnrittiocife, step by step: rtjeiF.rcife, 
part by part; trcpfeittDelfe, drop by drop; tocgenhJcife, wave by wave; 
like waves, SBeife is also added to adjectives; as, bicki[d)an>cifc, 
thie\ shly; gtutfttcbertoeife, fortunately. 

(2) Sometimes an adverb and a preposition are united ; examples 
of which may be found above under the head of adverbs formed 
from pronouns. 

(3) Sometimes adverbs are formed by the union or the repetition 
cf prepositions : as, burdiauS, throughout ; thoroughly ; burcfy unb 
burcb, through and through. 

(4) Sometimes a noun and a pronoun joined together, serve as 
an adverb ; as, memerfeite, on my side ; bleffeite, on this side ; aller* 
bingS, by all means. 

(5) Sometimes one adverb is formed from another by the add'- 
tion of a suffix; as, vucfUugg, backwards: sometimes by the unioL 
of another adverb ; as, uimmcrmcOr, nevermore. 

(G) Sometimes the several words composing a phrase, are, by 
being brought into union, made to perform the office of an adverb : 
thus, furtoafjl (for fur toatjr), verily ; fonft (for the obsolete fo ue iji, 
if it is not), otherwise ; else. 

§ IOC. Comparison of adverbs. 

(1) Many adverbs, chiefly, however, those expressive of manner 
are susceptible of the degrees of comparison. The forms for these 
are the same in adverbs as in adjectives 

(2) It must be observed, however, that, when a comparison, 
strictly speaking, is intended, the form of the superlative produced 
by prefixing am (See Obs. § 38.), should always be employed; as, 
er fdH'cibt enn fdionfien, he writes the most beautifully (of all). 

(3) If, on the other hand, we purpose, not to compare individuals 
one with another, but merely to denote extreme excellence or emi- 
nence, there are three ways in which it may properly be done : first, 
by using the simple or absolute form of the superlative ; as, er grttfjt 
freunbtiebfi, he greets or salutes in a manner very friendly, very cor- 
dially ; secondly, by employing aufS (auf-f-ba$) with the accusative, 
or gum (ju-f-bem) with the dative, of the superlative ; as, aufg 
freuubtidifte, in a manner very friendly ; jum fdieuften, in a manner 
very beautiful ; lastly, by adding to the simple form of the super- 
lative, the termination e u 6 ; befteng, the best or in the best manner 
(jod)jien 3, at the highest or at the most. 



TABLE OF THE PREPOSITIONS. § 107. § 108. 4-03 



§ :.07. THE PREPOSITIONS. 

(1 ) The prepositions in German, that is, the words employed 
merely to denote the relations of things, are commonly classified ac- 
cording to the cases with which they are construed. Some of them 
are construed with the genitive only ; some with the dative only : 
some with the accusative only ; and some either with the dative or 
accusative, according to circumstances. 

(2) They may also, on a different principle, be divided into two 
general classes : the Primitive and the Derivative. The primitive 
prepositions always govern either the dative or the accusative : the 
derivative prepositions are found, for the most part, in connection 
with the genitive only.

§ 110. Observations. 

(1) Slnftatt is compounded of an (in) and <&tatt {place;) and 
these components may sometimes be separated : thus, an be<3 33ruber£ 
(£tatt in the brother's stead. In this case the part, <& t a 1 1 , takes 
its proper character, which is that of a noun. 

(2) 45afben, like toegen and urn — ttutfen, expresses motive. Strict- 
ly speaking, however, i) a lb en seems to point to a motive that is 
direct, immediate and special; to e g e n indicates an object less definite 
and more distant; while am — rotden looks to the will, wish or wel- 
fare of that which is expressed by the genitive. These distinctions, 
however, are not always regarded even by writers of reputation. 

(3) <§alben or fyatber is always placed after the noun which it gov- 
erns : the form, Ijalt e it being preferred, when the noun ha? an article 
or pronoun before it; and fyalb e r , when it has not : thus, te$ ©elbeg 
fyalben, for the sake of money ; 93ergnugen3 fyalber, for the sake of 
pleasure. «§atben is often united with the genitive of the personal 
pror.ouns; in which case the final letter (r) is jinitted and it3 place

8 applied by t: thus, memettjat&cn, (instead of mctnerfyaTBen,) fot my 
sake ; beineti)afl)en, for thy sake ; fctnettjcilbeu, for his sake, &c. So? 
too, it occurs in the compounds beftyafl), on account of that; \w$; 
kitt\ on account o e which: wherein, as in aujjerfyatb, innerljalb, obev? 
halb, nntevtialb, the form ft a I b e it is shortened into h a I b. In the 
last four, I) a lb has the sense part or stile; as, aujkvhalb, outside, &c. 

(4) SBegeit may either come before or after its noun: as, toegeii ber 
gtcf en ©efoijr, on account, of the great danger; fetn.ee ©cfmtbl;cit rec- 
ant, on account of his health. 

(5) Um — roiUcn is always separated by the genitive which it gov- 
erns: thus, urn ©cttc3 linden, for God's sake. 

(6) Ungeacbtet may either precede or succeed its noun: as, unge* 
aditct alter ^inberniffe, notwithstanding all hindrances ; feineg glctjjeS 
ungeaditct, notwithstanding his industry. 

(7) 93ermoge, by dint or means of, indicates physical ability : as, 
Uetmoge beg gleipe^, by means of industry. It thus differs from fvaft, 
which points rather to the exercise of moral power : as, fvaft nteineS 
Slntteg, by virtue of my office. 

(8) 3ufolge, when it comes after the word whieh it governs, takes 
the latter in the Dative : as, bent 23efel;le jufclge, in consequence of 
(or pursuant to) the order. 

(9) SditgS and tvc£ may, also, govern the Dative.

Stebe, out of love ; auS Sfctdbt* ijat ©ott bte SBelt gemadjf out of no 
thing has God made the world. 



406 OBSERVATION 

(2) SI u fj e r differs from curt, in that it denotes situation rather 
than transition: thus, au3 bent £aufe marks wiofu/n from or out of 
the house, while aujjerbem £aufe signifies position in respect to the 
bouse; that is, outside of the house; abroad: hence comes, also, 
the signification, besides ; exclusive of; as, Dliemanb Clttfcs mir tt>ar 
fcugegen, no one besides, or except me was present. 

(3) 93 c i shows the relation of proximity or identity in respect to 
persons, places, times, &c. : as, ev mct/nt bet feinem SBvuber he resides 
toftA his brother ; bei bem «£anfe, by or ?:ear the house ; bei ber ©(bo* 
i>fung" a/ the creation; bet meinev Stnfunfr, at or upon my arrival ; bfi 
bent sptcito, m Plato, that is, in the works of Plato. 33 e i is also 
used in making- oath or protest; as, bet ®ctt ; bet meiner (Sfyrc ; by 
God ; by, or tijoon my honor : a use easily derived from the primary 
signification of the word. It should be added that the German bet 
(unlike the English by) is not properly employed to denote the cause, 

jneans or instrument of an action : this is done by the words bnvd) 
fcen, or mit: id) faljre mit ber (Sifenbatm. 

(4) 53 i it u c it is used in denoting a limitation of time ; as, bin* 
nen adit Xaqm, within eight days. 

(5) (5* n t a, e g e it always comes after its noun ; and denotes the 
relation of parties moving towards one another so as to meet: hence 
it gets the significations opposite to, over against : thus, bit Slnabe 
(dnft feinem 33ater mtgegen, the boy runs towards, that is, to meet his 
father ; bent SBiube entgegeit, against the wind. 

(6) ©cgenubct marks an opposite position of things ; and 
like enfgegen, comes after its noun ; as, bent £aufe gegenuber, opposite 
to, ox fronting the house. 

(7) s JJt i t signifies sometimes the relation of union ; sometimes 
that of instrumentality ; as, er arbettet mit feinem Q3ater, lie works 
with his father; mit einent SMeffer fd)iteibcn, to cut icith a knife: some- 
times, also, it indicates the manner of an action; as, mit ©emali; mit 
Stji. 

(8) dl a d), in all its uses, has its nearest equivalent in the Eng- 
lish word after ; as, je'fm 2Jltnuten nad) titer, ten minutes after four ; 
tud) englifdier SWobe, after the English fashion ; ber 9?afe nad), after 
(that is, following after) your nose ; bem (Strome nad), after (that is, 
in the direction of) the stream ; ber 33efdireibnng nad), after (that is, 
according to) the description ; mir gefyen nad) ber (Stabt, we are going 
after (that is, in the direction of, towards, or to) the city ; bag (£duff 
:\i nad) Simerifa befttmmt, the ship is bound after (that is, for) Ame- 
rica, &c. 

(9) When direction towards a person, instead of a place , is im*i. 





PREPOSITIONS CONHUbH^ THE ACCUSATIVE 

Bated, j u is employed ; as, tit tterbe j it memem SSater gefjen, 1 sh 

go to my father. Sometimes it a d) is used in connection with j u ; 
as, cv lief nad) ber <2iabi $u, he ran (literally, after to) towards the 
city. When it denotes direction with, as in the phrase, bem Stvcme 
ncni\ following, or going with the stream, it is put after the noun 
which it governs : so, also, when it has the kindred sense, according 
to ; as, meiiter Sdeiuung itadi, according to my opinion. If, however, 
in the latter case, a genitive depends on the noun under the govern- 
ment of the preposition, nad) precedes; as, nad) ber 93efd)rctbung be3 
©emitter, according to Schiller's description. 

(10) 9? c fc ft and fa mint have the same general signification, 
together with ; but, strictly speaking, differ in this, that fcunmt not 
only indicates conjoint, but, also, simultaneous action : thus, Slaren 
fammt fcincn Solmen feflen iijre <§dnbe auf fein feavtyt (egen, Aaron to- 
gether with (i. e. simultaneously with) Ms sons shall lay their hands 
upon his head. 

(11) D b is seldom used except in poetry. 

(12) 23 c it marks the source or origin of a thing, and has the 
name latitude of signification as its English equivalent from : thus, 
fcer SSBinb xotlftt titm Often, the wind blows from the East; bag @e* 
bUbt tft ttoti iljm, that poem is from (by) him. With an or auf fol- 
lowing, it indicates the extent of a period of time : r-en bev evften 
Sinbfyeit an, from earliest childhood on ; tion fciner Sugenb auf, from 
Ins youth up. 

(13) 3 a primarily is a mere sign of transition; but is made to 
denote a variety of cognate relations, from a state of motion to a 
state of rest. Examples best illustrate its use : thus, tdv unit ju met* 
ucin SSater geljeii, I will go to my father; totr rcifen jit SOBaffer unb ju 
fcaubc, we travel by land and by water ; jn (JJferbe, on horseback ; ju 
lyiiJK, on foot ; jit £aufe f at home ; ju jencr 3cit, at that time ; ev i)at 
midi jum (for $u bem) barren gcmadU, he has made me (to become) a 
fool ; cv tlmi eo mtr ju Stefce, he does it to (shoiv) love for me. It ia 
sometimes used as an adverb ; as, gel) jit, go on ; ju t?icl, too much ; 
mad)e bte Xfyuv $u, shut the door to. 

(14) 3 lift t bev, against, contrary to, comes after the word, 
which it governs.

§ 114. Observations. 

(1) 2) u r d) has its exact equivalent in the English word through : 
as, buvd) bte &tabt gef;eu, to go through the city ; buret) 3&vcit 33et* 
jlanb, through your aid ; bag ganje 3cil;r buvd) (where, as often in 
English, the preposition comes after the noun), the whole year 
through. 

(2) © e g e u (contract form, geu) indicates motion towards ; and 
hence often has the signification opposite to ; but whether it marks 
direction towards, in a manner friendly or otherwise, must be deter- 
mined by the context. In this respect, it differs from toibev, against, 
which denotes an opposition, doing or designing evil. 

(3) £) () u e and f o n b e r are of the same import ; but the latter 
is seldom used, and then only, when the substantive has no article 
before "t. 

(4) It m, like the English word about, indicates the going or 
being of one thing around another ; and hence denotes also near- 
ness, change of position, succession, &c. : thus, um beu £tfd) fi^cn, 
to sit about the table ; totrf beineu Sftantet um bid), throw thy cloak 
about thee ; um jwet Ufjr, about (literally, close about, i. e. exactly) 
two o'clock ; cincu £ag_ um beu aubevn, one day about another, that 
is, every other day ; c3 ift um \i)\\ gefdjefyen, it is clone about him, that 
is, it is all over with him ; um @elb fpiclen, to play about {for) mo- 
ney ; um jef)u Siafrcc juugcr, younger about (by) ten years, &c. Be- 
fore an Infinitive preceded by ju (that is, before the Supine, as it is 
sometimes called), um denotes purpose ; as, um Sfnten 511 jeigeu, in 
order to show you ; um ju fd)retbeit, in order to write, or for the pur- 
pose of writing. 

§ 115. Prepositions construed with the dative or 
accusative. 



Wit,

§116. 


Observations. 





These prepositions govern either the accusative or the dative ; bui 
not without a difference of signification : for, when motion towards, 
that is, motion from one point to another, is indicated, the accusative 



§116. 



409 



is required : when, however, motion or rest in any given place or 
condition is signified, the dative is used; thus, bet jfrmbe latift in ben 
®artcn, the Loy runs into (motion towards) the garden ; ber JTna&e 
(an ft in bent ©arten, the Loy runs in (motion within) the garden, 
This is the general principle ; which will be found, with more or 
less distinctness, everywhere to prevail in the use of the pre- 
positions of this class. We subjoin a list of examples.

§ 117. THE CONJUNCTIONS. 

(1) Conjunctions are words used in connecting sentences. As, 
however, there are various kinds of connections existing among sen- 
tences, it has been customary to classify the conjunctions according 
to the nature of the connection which they are employed to indicate 
Hence we have (among other classes) the following : 

Copulatives: as, nub, and; aud), also. 

Disjunctives : as, entroeber, either ; obcr, or. 

Adversative* : as, aber, but ; however ; atfctn, but ; bod), vet. 

Negatives : as, meber, neither ; nodi, nor. 

Comparatives: as, toie, as; fo, so; thus; ati, than; a,letd)mie, just 



Conditionals' as, menu, if; fattS, in case that; mo few, provided 

that. 

Causals : as, benn, for; meif, since; because. 

Conclusives : as, barum, therefore ; bafyer, hence ; bepbatb, there- 
fore 

Concesshes: as, oBmoT)!, cbfdion, obgtetcb, roenn; although. 

Finals : as, bap, that ; anf bafj and bamit, m order that ; urn j«/ 

in order to- 

(2) We give below a list of the conjunctions that most commonly 
occur in German : premising only that some of the words here set 
down as conjunctions are also employed as adverbs ; for it will of 
coarse be kept in mind, that the offxe performed by a word, deter- 
mines its name and character. For numerous examples illustrating 
their uses, See Lesson 69.

§ 118. INTERJECTIONS. 

(1) Interjections, as the name implies, are commonly thrown into 
a sentence; without, however, changing either its structure or its 
signification. They are merely the signs of strong or sudden emo- 
tion; and may be classified according to the nature of the emotion 
which they indicate : some expressing joy ; some sorrow ; some 
surprise, and so on. The list below contains those only that most 
commonly occur. 

etch ! alas! ^r)! p! oh! o! 

afj! ah ! fcfut! fy! 

et! eigh! fcft! hist! 

I;a! ha! toetje! wo! alas! 



fa', ho!

leibev! alas ! (nun ! hem! 

(2) It may be added thai other parts of speech and even whole 
phrases, are often employed as interjections, and in parsing are treat- 
ed as such. 



§ 119. SYNTAX. 

Syntax is that part of Grammar which unfolds the relations and 
ofces of words as arranged and combined in sentences. 

The essential parts of every sentence are the subject, which is that 
of which something is affirmed ; and the predicate, which is that which 
contains the affirmation. 

The subject is either a noun or that which is the representative or 
equivalent of a noun ; the predicate is either a verb alone, or a verb 
in conjunction with some other part or parts of speech. All other 
words entering into a sentence, are to be regarded as mere adjuncts. 
The following sentences exhibit the subject and the predicate under 
several varieties of form : 

Subject. Predicate. 

God exists. 

Man is mortal. * 

To be, contents his natural desire. 

Throwing the stone was his crime. 

Sentences are either simple, that is, contain a single assertion ci 
proposition ; or compound, that is, contain two or more assertions 01 
propositions. Of the various parts of a sentenr^ whether principal 
or adjunct, we come now to speak more m detail; so as to show the 
relation, agreement, government and arrangement of words in con- 
struction. 

§ 120. THE ARTICLES. 

Rule. 

The article in German, whether definite or indefinite, h generally 
employed wherever the corresponding article would be used in 
English. 

* In the sentence God exists the verb exists is the predicate : affirming, as 
it does, existence of the Almighty. But in the sentence, man is mortal, mortal- 



-** 



SYNT^^^H: ARTICLE. § 120. 413 

Observations. 

This rule is of course founded upon the presumption that the 
itudent is familiar with the usage of the English in respect to the 
article. In the specifications that follow, therefore, he is to look 
only for the points in which the German differs from the usage of 
our own language. 

( 1 ) The Germans insert the definite article : 

(a) Before words of abstract or universal signification; as, bet 
Stteufdi ift fierblid), man (i. e. every man) is mortal; b a 3 ®elb ift befyn* 
bar, gold is ductile ; b a 8 Seben ift fur$, life is short ; b i e £ugeub 
fiifivt jam ©liicfe, virtue leads to happiness ; 

(b) before the names of certain divisions or periods of time : as, 
bcr ©onntag, Sunday; berSKeritag, Monday; bev 2)cjembcr, December 
ber Slitauft, August; ber ©envmer, Summer: 

(c) before certain names (feminines) of countries ; as, bie Xwcizl, 
Turkey; tie ©clnreij, Switzerland; bie Sombarbei, Lombardy: 

(d) before the names of authors, when used to denote their works; 
as, id) lefc ben Sofftng, I am reading Lessing: 

(e) before the proper names or titles of persons, when used in a 
way denoting familiarity or inferiority ; as, grape b t e 3)lcme, greet 
(or remember me to) Mary; fcige bem Shttfycr, baf id) il;n ju fefyett 
lvinifdie, tell Luther, that I wish to see him: also, when connected 
with attributive adjectives: as, bte Heine (Soptjie, little Sophia: 

(f) before words (especially proper names of persons) whose cases 
are not made krown either by a change of termination, or by the 

'.-.ence of a preposition; as, bcuS Sebcn ber ^ftvficn, the lite of 
.inees; bie $rau bed @ecrate$, the wife of Socrates; ber Sag ber 
DuKbe, the day of (the) vengeance^: 

(g) before the names of ranks, bodies, or systems of doctrine: as, 
has 5parlamcnt, Parliament; bte SRegierung, government; bie SJlenar* 
due, monarchy ; b a 6 (5(;ti[tenf()um, Christianity : also in such phrases : 
as, in ber <Stabr, in town; in ber birdie, at church; bte metjien 
9Keufdieit, most men. 

(h) before the words (signifying) half and both : as, bte Ijalbe 
(not fyalbe bie) 3a()t, half the number; bte betben (not beiben bie) 
58 ruber, both the brothers : 

(i) before words denoting the limit, within which certain specified 
numbers or amounts are confined ; wherein in English, th*i indefinite 
article would be used: as, jttehnat b te 2£edu, twice a wett.«: 

ity is what is affirmed of man ; and the verb (is) is ihe mere link that t croecta 
Ifrie subject and ih<- predicate together. It is thence called the copula. § 158. 



414 SYNTAX OF THE NOUjjtfP^^l; 

(2) Note, further, that the German differs from the English in 
omitting the definite article, — 

(a) before certain law appellatives, as: 23cffagtcv, {the) defendant; 
iltdgev, (ike) plaintiff; StyycUaut, (the) appellant; Supplicant, (the) 
petitioner : 

(b) before certain common expressions such as, in better Orbnung, 
in (the) best order ; Uebevbrtnger bicfed, (the) bearer of this; and cer- 
tain adjectives and participles treated as nouns; as, evfterer, (the) 
former ; le^tever, (the) latter ; befagter, (the) before-said (person) : 

(c) before certain proper names of places: as, .Djtinbien, (the; 
East Indies; SBeftinbien, (the) West Indies; and before the names of 
the Cardinal points: as, Often, (the) East; 2Beftcn, (the) West; (Siiben, 
(the) South ; Sfcorben, (the) North : 

(d) before a past participle joined with a no«n, which, in English, 
precedes the participle: as, baS ycrlovene 5pavabied, (literally, the lost 
Paradise) Paradise Lost. 

(3) Note, again, that the Germans in using certain collective 
terms preceded by adjectives, employ the indefinite article where the 
English would use the definite : as, cm f;ed)tt>ctfcr. dlatl), the (lit a) 
most learned Senate ; eiue leblid)e Untocr jitat, the (a) honorable Uni- 
versity. 

(4) In German, also, the indefinite article stands before (not after y 
as in English,) the words, such, half: thus, cin feldicr Sftann, (not 
feldher em SJlaun), such a man ; ein fyalbctf Satyr (not fyalbeS cin 3afir), 
half a year. In questions, direct or indirect, like the following: (Sinen 
tt>ie langen ©pajicrvttt Ijat cr gemadjt, how long a ri^e has he taken; 
it must be noticed that the article stands before tvte ; thus, etnen tote 
langen (a how long) and not, as in English, how long a. 

(5) The German differs again from the English in not using an 
articie at all in the phrases answering to the English ; a few ; a thou- 
sand; a hundred. 

§ 121. THE NOUN. 

Rule. 

A ncu- or pronoun which is the subject of a sentence must be m 
the nominative case : as, 

£>ev 2Jlenfd) benfr, ®ctt lenfr, man devises, God disposes. 
2)tc 33erge bonnent, the mountains thunder. 

Observations, 
(1) The subject or nominative in German, is seldom omitted, ex 



USE OF HIE NOMINATIVE. § 122. § 123. 415 

eept in the case of the pronouns agreeing with veibs in the second 
person (singular and plural) of the Imperative: as, 

Zck (bit), read ! ©rfjet uub fagct (3I;r) ii)m, go and tell him. 
See. however, § 136. 2. 

§ 122. Rule. 

A noun or pronoun which is the predicate of a sentence, must be 
In the nominative case : as, 

©r ftar ein groper jlomg, he was a great king. 

SMcfcr Jfrtabe ift ^anfmaun gcluerben, this boy is become a merchant. 

QUeranbcr Ijicjj ber ©rope, Alexander was called the Great. 

Observations. 

(1) This rule applies, where the subject and the predicate are 
connected, as above, by such verbs as fetn, to be ; lucrbeu, to become ; 
Ijeifjen. to be called; blet&en, to remain, &.c. 

(2) So, also, the rule becomes applicable when any of those 
verbs which in the active govern two accusatives (§ 132. 2.), are em- 
ployed passively : as, (Stceto nutrbe ber Stater bet SBatevlanbeg genamtt, 
Cicero was called the father of his country ; Qrv ift Slier anber getauft 
toevben, he has been christened Alexander. From this remark, how- 
ever, must be excepted the verb I c 1} t e u : since it has no passive. 

§ 123. Rule. 

A noun used to limit * the application of another noun signifying 
a different thing, is put in the genitive ; a *, 

£>cr Sauf ber (Sonne, the course of the sun. 
JDcr (Sefm meitted ^rcunbcc, the son of my friend. 
JDie (Srjiefnutg ber Jtinbcr, the education of the children. 
3Me 2Gaf>( eine» greunbeS, the choice of a friend. 

Observations. 
(1) If, however, the limiting noun (unless restricted itself by 
an adjective or some other qualifying word) signify measure, num- 
ber, weight or quantity, it is then put in the same case with that 
which it limits ; as, gtnei ®la3 9Bcin (not SBehteg), two glasses (of) 
wine ; fceby iPfunb £f)ee (not Sijecs), six pounds (of) tea : but (with

(2) It should be observed that the two nouns under this Rule 
must be of different significations; for two nouns standing for the 
same thing, would be in the same case, forming an instance of appo- 
sition. See § 133. (1). 

(3) The noun in the genitive, that is, the limiting noun, is com- 
monly said to be governed by the other one. This genitive is either 
subjective or objective ; subjective, when it denotes that which does 
something or has something : objective, when it denotes that which 
suffers something, or which is the object of what is expressed by the 
governing word. To illustrate this, we have only to take the ex- 
amples given above : bet Scuif bet (Sonne, the course of the sun ; bte 
©rjieljfung ber Jttubev, the education of the children ; where, in the 
first example, the sun is represented as performing or having a 
course, and is consequently subjective; and, in the second example, 
the children are represented as being the objects of education, and 
the word is consequently objective. This objective genitive, it should 
be added, occurs only after verbal nouns, and chiefly those ending 
in the suffixes e r, which marks the deer, and u n g, which marks 
the doing of an action. 

(4) It seems hardly necessary to observe that under this rule 
come all words which perform the office of nouns ; as, pronouns, ad- 
jectives used substantively, &c. ; thus, bie ©nctbe ber ©rofjett, the fa- 
vor of the great. 

(5) We say often in English, He is a friend to, or an enemy to, 
or a nephew to any one ; where, were these phrases put into German, 
we might expect the dative to be used. But, in such cases, the Ger- 
man always employs the Genitive : thus, er ijl ein ?i;einb feineS 33ater* 
(anbc*3, he is an enemy of his native country. 

(6) We say in English, the month of August, the city of Lon- 
don, and the like : where the common and the proper name of the 
same thing are connected by the preposition of. The Germans pui 
the two nouns in apposition. See § 133. (2). 

(7) So, too, in English we say, the fifth of August ; but, in Ger- 
man, the numeral is put in direct agreement with the name of the 
month : as, ber fiiufte Slnejuft, the fifth {of) August, or August fifth. 

(8) In place of the genitive, the preposilion y o n, followed by 
the dative, is, in the following instances, generally used : 

a. When succeeded by nouns signifying quality, rank, measure 
weight, age, distance and the like ; as, ein Tlann tun fyoljem (Stanbe,

the terminations of declension nor by the presence of the article: as,

word preceding expresses but a part : as, etner yon inetnen 33efannien, 
one of my acquaintances ; iyeld)er yen beiben ? wliich of the two ? 

§ 124. Rule. 

A noun limiting the application of an adjective, where in English 
the relation would be expressed by such words as of or from, is put 
in the genitive : as, bie meifien SBerlufte jtnb eine3 (Srfafccg fdfyig, most 
losses are capable of reparation ; bie @vbe ift yotf ber ©ute be3 «&«nt, 
the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

frequently, in common conversation, the accusative. 9ld)teu, fyaxxev 
and ttarteu are more commonly construed with a u f, and tad)en, 
gotten and toaltcn with ii b e r , before an accusative.

Gnhvefyrteii, to wean. 
2cgfprcd)cn, to acquit 
Sftcifyneu, to remind,

2)er 93ifd)cf tjat ben ^Jrcbtger feineS SlmteS cntfe#t, the bishop has 
removed the preacher from his office. 

Observations. 

(1) The verbs above, when in the passive voice, take for their 
nominative the word denoting the person : the genitive of the thing 
remaining the same : as, er ift eineS 33evbred)en$ angeflagt toorben. Im 
has been accused of a crime. 



420 SYNTAX OF THE NOUN. § 128. § 129. 

§ 128. Rule. 

Nouns denoting the time, place, manner, intent or cause cf an ao 
tion, are often put absolutely in the genitive and treated as adverbs ' 
as, 

'DeS SJlorgenS gel)e id) an0, in the morning I go out. 

2Jlan fudit ifyn alter Drten, they seek him everywhere. 

3d) bin 2Bi((eu$ {;tn'$ugc{;en, I am willing to go there. 

Observations. 

(1) This adverbial use of the genitive is quite common in Ger- 
man. See § 101. In order, however, to express the particular 
point, or the duration of time, the accusative is generally employed, 
or a preposition with its proper case ; as, 3d) fterbe nddifteu ilUciuag 
an (3 ber <Stabt gefyen, T shall go out of town next monday. 

§ 129. Rule. 

A noun or pronoun used to represent the object, in reference to 
which an action is done or directed, is put in the dative : as, 
3di banfe bit*, I thank (or am thankful to) you. 
Qx gcfdltt iMcIeu Seutcn, he pleases many people. 
(S'v ift bent XCbt entgangen, he has escaped from death. 

Observations. 

(1) The dative is the case employed to denofe the pe^on or the 
thing, in relation to which the subject of the verb is represented as 
acting. Compared with the accusative, it is the case of the remote 
object: the accusative being the case of the immediate object. Thus, 
in the example, id) fdn'icb meinem 23ater einen QSrtef, I wrote (to) my 
father a letter, the immediate object is a letter ; while father, the per- 
son to whom I wrote, is the remote object. The number of verbs 
thus taking the accusative with the dative, is quite large. 

(2) On the principle explained in the preceding observation, may 
be resolved such cases as the following : eg iijut mir leib, it causes 
me sorrow, or I am sorry ; eg rrurb mir tm <£>er$en wet) t()im, it will 
cause pain to me in the heart, (it will pain me to the heart,)&c. 

(3) A right regard to the observation made above, namely, that 
Lie dative merely marks that person or thing, in reference to which 
an action is performed, will serve, also, to explain all such examples 
»b these : 3fynen bebentet biefeS £tyfer nid)tS, to you (i. e. so far ss you 



USE OF THE DATIVE. § 130. § 131. 421 

are concerned) this sacrifice means nothing; bie Xt)xamxt r bie Chtrem 
Streit gejlejfen, the tears which have flowed in relation to (i. e.from) 
your dispute ; mir tchide ein (Sdiiip ba$ $Pferb, a shot killed a horse 
for mo, i. e. killed my horse ; fade mir nidbt, .Kleiner, fall not for me, 
little one. In such instances as the last two, the dative is often 
omitted in translating. 

(4) The Rule comprehends all such verbs as the following : anU 
tooften, to answer ; bcmfett, to thank ; bienen, to serve ; breijen, to 
threaten ; fejjlen, to fall short ; ffttdien, to curse ; fclcjen, to follow ; 
frojjrten, tc do homage ; geMljten, to be due ; gefalleu, to please ; ge* 
fyeren, to pertain to ; gefyercrien, to obey ; geimgen, to satisfy ; gerei* 
fyn, to be adequate ; gleid)en, to resemble ; £)eifen, to help, &c. 

(5) This Rule, also, comprehends all reflexive verbs that govern 
the dative : as, id) mape mir fetnen Xitel an, toeldjen id) nid)t ijabe, I 
claim to myself no title, which I have not; as, also, all impersonate 
requiring the dative : as, ea foeliebt mir, it pleases me, or I am pleased : 
c3 mangett mir, it is wanting to me, or I am wanting, &c. 

(6) The dative is, also, often used after passive verbs : as, ifnteit 
tourbe roiberjianben, it was resisted to them, i. e. they were resisted ; 
*jcn ©etfiern roirb bet SEBeg bap befdut|t, the way thereto is guarded 
by angels ; tfmi roirb gelclmt, (literally) it is rewarded to Mm, i. e. he 
is rewarded. 

§ 130. Rule. 

Many compound verbs, particularly those compounded with e i, 
» e r, e n t, a n, a b, a u f, bet, it a d), 8 o v, j u and w i b e t, require 
after them the dative ; as, 

3d) f;aBe ifjm ©elb ange&oten, I have offered him money. 

§ 131. Rule. 

An adjective used to limit the application of a noun, where m 
English the relation would be expressed by such words as to or for, 
governs the dative : as, 

<Sei beinem -§errit getreu, be faithful to your master. 

£)a3 SBetter tft iiug uicbt guuftig, the weather is not favorable to us 

Observations. 

(1) Under this Rule are embraced (among others) the following 
adjectives : afynlicb, like ; angemeffen, app-opriate ; angenefjm, agree- 
able ; aufie&ig, offensive; befamtt, known ; befcbteben, destined; eigen, 
peculiar; fremb, foreign; gem&fj, according to, - gemein, common; 



422 tSE OF TRE ACCUSATIVE. § 132. 

geroaijfcn, competent; gn&big, gracious; rjettfam, healthful; Itefc 
agreaable ; nal)c, near ; ubevtegen, superior ; toiUfommen, welcome 
toibvig, adverse; bienftbar, serviceable; gcfyorfam, obedient; uiijjlid), 
useful. 

§ 132. Rule. 

A noun or pronoun which is the immediate object of an active 
iransitive verb, is put in the accusative : 

SQBir tteben unfere $rcunbe, we love our friends. 

S)« $unb betoad)t ba$ $au$, the dog guards the house. 

Observations. 

(1) The accusative, as before said, being the case of the direct 
or immediate object (§ 129. 1.) is used with all verbs, whatever their 
classification in other respects, that have a transitive signification. 
Accordingly, under this rule come all those impersonal and reflexive 
verbs that take after them the accusative ; all those verbs having a 
causative signification, as, fatten, to fell, i. e. to cause to fall ; as 
also nearly all verbs compounded with the prefix be.* 

(2) Sefyren, to teach ; nennen, to name ; fyeipen, to call ; fdietten, 
to reproach (with vile names) ; taufen, to baptize (christen) ; take 
after them two accusatives : as, er hljxt mid) bie beutfcfce <2ptadbe, he 
teaches me the German language ; er neunt ifm feinen dtttkx, he calls 
him his deliverer. See Lesson LIIL 

(3) The accusative is used with such terms as to t e g e u, to 
weigh ; f e ft e n, to cost ; g e It e n, to pass for ; to e r t i), worth ; 
f d) to e x, heavy ; ret di, rich ; I a n g, long ; to e i t, wide ; to mark 
definitely the measure or distance f indicated by these words ; as, 
btcfer <&ted ift ehten %u$ tang, this stick is a foot long ; er ift oter 
QJionate alt, he is four months old. 

(4) As words expressing time indefinitely are put in the genitive 
(§ 128. 1.), so 'those denoting a particular point, or duration of time, 
are put in the accusative ; as, id) toartete ben gtoeiten Sag, I waited 
two days. 

(0) A substantive construed with a participle, is sometimes put 
absolutely in the accusative ; as, btcfen Umftanb auSgenemmen, finbe 
id) idUs recbt, this circumstance excepted, I find all right. 

* The exceptions are begegnen, bef>agen, bejlefjcn, berutjen, befravven and 
beoxutfen. 

t In the ea,! ier German, these words of measure or distance were puJ 
in the genitive : as, finer, ©panne loeit, a span wide. 



apposition. § 133. § 134. 423 

§ 133. Rule. 

A noun or pronoun used merely to explain or specify that which 
is signified by a preceding noun or pronoun, must be in the same 
case : as, 

Qjicere, ein grejjier Oftebiter, Cicero, a great orator. 

3l)m, meinem 2Bcf}ttf>dtcr, to him, my benefactor. 

3)er Sftcitf; meineg ©rubers, beg 9ted|tgge(el;riett, the advice of my 
brother, the lawyer. 

Observations. 

(1) The explanatory noun is said to be in apposition with that 
which it explains . the latter being called the principal term. Be- 
tween these two, that is, between the principal and the explanatory 
term, there often intervenes some connective particle. Thus, cv ijat 
fieri aid ©efefcge&ei Oerbient gcrnadir, he, as a lawgiver, has rendered 
himself meritorious ; mem Dhicubar, namltdb bet 93auev, my neighbor, 
namely, the farmer. This latter mode of specifying (that is, with 
the word n&mUdb), is far more common in German than in English. 

(2) The proper names of months, countries, towns, and the like 
appellatives are put in apposition with their common names ; where, 
in English, the two words stand connected, for the most part, by the 
preposition of; as, ber SDlenat 9(ucuift, the month (of) August ; bie 
@tabt fieuben, the city (of) London; bie Uniuerfitat Drforb, the uni- 
versity (of) Oxford. 

§ 134. THE PRONOUNS. 

Rule. 

A pronoun must agree with the noun or pronoun which it repre- 
sents, in person, number and gender : as, 

2)er SDlann, toelcbcr toeife ijt, the man who is wise. 
2)ie ftrctu, toeldie ffrtjjig ift, the woman who is diligent. 
2)ag $itib, » eld) eg He in ift, the child that is small. 

Observations. 
(1) The neuter pronoun, e g , is used in a general and indefinite 
way to represent words of all gender and numbers : as, eg tji ber 
■Dtftaun, it is the man ; eg ift i>k %xau, it is the woman ; eg ijt bag jtiub, 
it is the child; eg ftnb bie Scanner, they are the men, &c. In like 
manner, also, often are used, the pronouns bag, (thai) ; b i e g, {this) 
K> a g. (what) ; as also the neuter adjective a 1 1 e g, (all) ; as, bat 
fatb metne 3tid)ter, th«?e are my judges. 



4:24 SYNTAX OF THE ADJECTIVE. § 135. 

(2) When the antecedent is a personal appellation formed by one 
of the diminutive (neuter) terminations, dun and letn, the pro- 
noun instead of being in the neuter, takes generally the gendei 
natural to the person represented: as, too tit \l)X <2 6 (nidi en ? 3ft ei 
(not ea) im ©arten '? Where is your little son 1 Is he in the garden 1 
The same remark applies to 2BeiO {woman) and ftraitenjimmet (lady)* 
When, however, a child or servant is referred to, the neuter is 
often employed. 

(3) A collective noun may in German, as in English, be repre- 
sented by a pronoun in the plural number: as, bie ©eiftiidifeit xoat 
fur t()re Siedite feijt beforgt, the clergy were very anxious about their 
rights. 

(4) The relative in German can never, as in English, be sup- 
pressed:* thus, in English, we say, the letter (which) you wrote; but 
in German, it must be, bet 33rtef, treidien bn fdiricbeji 

(5) The neuter pronoun e 6 , at the beginning of a sentence, is 
often merely expletive, and answers to the English word "there" in 
the like situation : as, eg mat niemanb i)iet, there was no one here ; 
eg fommen Sente, there are people coming. 

(6) The English forms, he is a friend of mine; it is a stable of 
ours, &c, can not be literally rendered into German; for there we 
must say, er ift mein Smtnb, he is my friend; or, er ift eutet meiuet 
ftreuube,. he is one of my friends, &c. See L. 28. 3. 

(7) The definite article in German is often used, where in Eng- 
lish a possessive pronoun is required : as, e* nrinf te itjm mtt bet ^cuib, 
lie beckoned to him with his (Ike) hand. 

(8) The datives of the personal pronouns are often in familiar 
style employed in a manner merely expletive: as, id) lebe mir bei« 
D^ctnteeut, I like Rhenish wine for me, i. e. I prefer Rhenish wine 
See § 129. 3. 

$ 135. THE ADJECTIVES. 

Rule. 
Adjectives, when they precede their nouns (expressed or under 
stood), agree with them in gender, number and case ; as, 
25tefe fcridne ©ante, this handsome lady. 
@m gutter imb geterttet SSater, a good and just father. 
£>ett jwolfteit biefeS SWcuatg, the twelfth (day) of this month, &o. 
£!et tit eitt Sftipyerftanb, — e it tjanbgreiflicfyer, here is a misunder- 
standing, — a palpable (one). 



Tie antecedent is sometimes omitted, and sometimes follows the relative ; as, £ t fo J<nttii, Unutt 
nifct, {Ctese) that think thus, do not know him ' ^ ' ^** 



SYNTAX OF THE ADJECTIVE. § 135. § 136. 425 

Observations. 

(i) This Rule of course has reference to those adjectives which 
aie use 1 attributively; for predicative adjectives it "will be remem- 
bered, are not d^clinec.. For the several circumstances under which 
adjectives are varied in declension, consult § 27. § 28.-, &c. 

(2) This Rule applies equally to adjectives of all degrees of 
comparison; as, bejfere 23i'ater, better books; ber bz\te 2i$ei:i, Ihe 
best wine ; be$ bejien 2Qeine3, of the best wine, &c. So, too, it tip- 
plies equally to all classes of adjectives ; as, adjective pronouns, 
numerals and participles. 

(3) The word "one" which, in English, so often supplies the place 
of a preceding noun after an adjective, cannot be translated literally 
into German : its office being rendered needless in the latter tongue 
by the terminations of declension. See last example under the Rule 

(4) So, also, the English "one's" is the proper equivalent of the 
German f e t n, in such cases as the following : gifct e$ dwaS GsbteteS, 
a!3 fetnen §einben ju sergefcen ? is any thing more noble than to for- 
aive one's enemies ] 



(5) When the same adjective is made to refer to several singulai 
nouns differing in gender, it must be repeated with each and varied 
m form accordingly ; as, etn gelefyricr <2o(nt unb etne getefyrtc £od)ter, 
a learned son and a learned daughter. The adjectives are, also, often 
repeated, though the nouns be all of the same gender. 

§ 136. THE VERBS. 

Rule. 

A verb agrees with its subject or nominative in number and per- 
son; as, 

Seber StugenMtcE ift fejifeat, every moment is precious. 
2)te 23dume btuf;en im ftrupng, the trees bloom in spring. 

Observations. 

(1) When the subject is the pronoun c 8, b a 5 or b t e 8, used in- 
definitely (See § 134. 1.), the predicate, if a noun, determines the 
numbei and person of the verb ; as, c$ {tub btc gvucbte SfyveS £Jjurt& 
these are the fruits of your actions. 

(2) In -the second person (singular and plural) of the imperative 
snood, the pronoun which forms the subject is commonly omitted ; 

.s, gefcet Bin uttb faget Sefyamri tnieber, teas? 31jr fe£;et uub f)6vet, go and 
toll Jc hn what ye see and hear. 

f3) VTien the verb has two or more singular subjects connected 



426 SYNTAX OF THE VERB. § 137. 

by unb, J t is generally put in the plural ; as, <§afj unb Cnferfudit 
ft ub fyefti^e Seibcufcbaften, hatred and jealousy are violent passions. 

(4) When the subject is a collective noun, that is, one conveying 
the idea of many individuals taken together as unity, the verb must 
(generally) be in *he singular; as, ba$ cngfifdie 93df (;at grope 
§rei!)eit, the Englisn people have (has) great liberty. In a few cases 
only, as, eiu *}>aar, a pair ; eine Sftenge, a number ; em IDufceub, a 
dozen, the verb stands in the plural. 

(5) When a verb has several subjects, and they are of different 
persons, the verb agrees with the first rather than the second, and 
the second rather than the third ; as, bu, beat JBruber unb id) tociicn 
fpajieren geljen, thou, thy brother and I will go take a walk ; bu \inb 
beta 33ruber ttermogct luel, you and your brother avail much. 

§ 137. USE OF THE TENSES. 
Rule. 
The Present tense properly expresses what exists or is taking place 
at the time being ; as, tie tt>cu)ve Xapfcvfctt befd)ufct \>m ©d)U>ad)eti, 
true valor protects the weak. 

Observations. 

(1) The Present in German, as in other languages, is often, in 
lively narrative, employed in place of the Imperfect ; as, 

S)te ©eune gef)t (for ging) uuier, bci fteljt (for ftcutb) et am S'fjor, ic, 
the sun goes down, while he stands at the door, &c. 

(2) The Present is not unfrequently used for the Future, when 
the true time is sufficiently clear from the context ; or when, for 
the sake of emphasis, a future event is regarded and treated as al- 
ready certain ; as, 

3d) vcife morgen a&, I start (i. c. will start) to morrow. 

2Ber tt>eip, ton mergen fiber un3 befiefjtt, who knows who commands 

(i. e. will command) us to-morrow ? 
Salb fef;cn ©ie mid) nueber, soon you (will) see me again. 
2)ie3 (gcblofi crfteigen toix in biefer fflafyt, this castle scale we (i. e, 

will we scale) this very night. 

(3) It should be noted that the Present is, moreover, the propel 
tense for the expression of general or universal truths or proposi- 
tions ; as, bie 93ogcl ffiegen in bcr Shift, birds fly in the air. 

(4) In English we have several forms of the Present tense ; as, 
I praise, I do praise or J am praising. In German there is but 
one form (id) lobe) for the expression of these several shades of 
uceardncr. 



USE OT THE TENSES. § 138. § 139. 427 

(5) The Present in connection with the adverb f d) c n (already] 
often supplies the place of a Perfect ; as, nrir tootynen fdum ftcbett 
3a()ve l)iev, already dwell we here (i. e. have ice dwell) seven years. 

(6) Jn English, we say often, "I do walk, I did walk," and the 
.ike : where the verb do (Present and Imperfect) is employed as an 
auxiliary. This cannot properly be done with the corresponding 
verb (t i) u n, to do) in German. 

& 138. Rule. 

The Imperfect tense is used to express what existed, or ivas taking 
place at some past time indicated by the context : as, id) fditicb an 
<2te, aU id) Sfyren SBrief ev(;ie(i, I was writing to you, when I received 
your letter. 

Observations. 

(1) The Imperfect is the historical tense of the Germans. Its 
proper office is to mark what is incomplete, or going on, while some- 
thing else is going on. It is the tense adopted by the narrator, who 
speaks as an eye-icilness ; though it may be used by such as have rot 
been eye-witnesses of the events narrated : provided the statement 
be introduced or accompanied by such expressions as, he said (facjte 
er), it is said, or they say (fagt man). When the speaker has not been 
an eye-witness, the Perfect should be used. 

(2) From the use of the Imperfect in expressing the continuance 
of a thing i. e. what was going on at a given time, comes the kindred 
power which it has, of expressing repealed or customary action : as, 
ev pjlcgie ju fagen, he used to say, i. e. was in the habit of saying. 

(3) The Imperfect in German, like the Present, has but one form; 
which, according to circumstances, is to be rendered by any one of 
the three English forms of that tense. 3d) 1 o b t e, therefore, is either 
1 praised, did praise, or was praising. 

§ 139. Rule. 

The Perfect tense is that winch represents the being, action oi 
passion, as past and complete at the time being : as, bie ©cniffe ftnb 
uno/femmen, the ships have arrived ; er iji i?ovii}e 2Sod)e gejlovbcn, he 
died last week. 

Observations. 

O) The German Perfect, as a general thing, corresponds closely 
to omi- Imperfect, wnen used as an aorisl ; that is, when used to ex- 
press an event simply and absolutely, and without regard to othei 
events or circumstances. Hence often it happens, that where in Eng- 



423 SYNTAX OF THE VERB. § 140. § 141. § 142. 

lish we iue the Imperfect, the Germans employ their Perfect: thuv 
id) ijabe beiueit Q3ruber cjefteru gcfcr/en, abcx nidtf gefprcdien, I saw your 
brother yesterday, but did not speak to him. 

(2) The auxiliary participle (ftwtben) in the perfect passive, is 
sometimes omitted. (See § 84. 2.) 

(3) We may remark here also, that, though in English we have 
a doubie form for the Perfect, (thus, I have written and I have been 
writing) tin Germans have but the one. By which of the English 
forms, therefore, the German Perfect is, in any given case, to be ren 
dered, must be determined by the context. 

§ 140. Rule. 

The Pluperfect tense is used to express what had taken place at 
some past time denoted by the context : as, 

D£ad)bem bie (£cnne untergegangen roav, ging er roeg, after the sun had 

gone down, he went off. 
(Erfycitte rocUjvenb unferer Untervebung gcfd)lafen, he had slept during 
our conversation. 

§ 141. Rule. 

The first Future tense is employed merely to express what shall oi 
Usill take place hereafter ; while the second Future is used to denote 
what shall have occurred at some future period. 
Observations. 

(1) The Future tenses are used as in English, and also to indi- 
cate a probability, in which case they are translated by other tenses 
»n connection with an appropriate adverb ; as, (£3 roirb 3(;r 53ruSet 
fettt, it is probably your brother. 

(2) When a future action is represented, or is mentioned, as a 
thing necessary to be done, as in the English phrases, / am to go, 
he is to have and the like, the German employs a distinct verb ex- 
pressive of obligation or necessity : as, id) fo(l eg fyafcen, I am (shall 
be obliged) to have it. @r fott fpred)en, &c. 

§ 142. Rule. 

The Indicative mood is used in affirming or denying that which i* 
conceived to be certain or undoubted ; as, 

(&x rotvb morgeit jurMfommen, he will return to-morro~v. 

Observations. 
(1) Since the proper office of the Indicative is to express reality, 
it is employed in all absolute or independent senten res. Even in 



UgE OF THE MOODS. § 143. 429 

■ondJtiona] sentences, moreover, it is used, if the condition is as- 
uitiiea as a fact ; as, bift fcu rcid), fo gi(> Did, art thou rich (i. e. ij 
art rich), give much. 
(2) Sometimes the Indicative is employed instead of the Impera- 
tive, where, that which is enjoined, is treated as something- already 
in progress ; as, b it trrttft Dot, thou steppest forward, i. e. step 
(ticou) forward. This is regarded as the strongest form of command 

§ 143. Rule. 

The Subjunctive mood is used when that which is expressed by 
the verb, is conceived to be uncertain, though possible ; as, 
3d) tyabe gefyort, bap er bte getiutnfdite ©telle evfjalten l)abe, I have 

heard, that he has obtained the desired situation. 
3d) roihifd)e, bap er gliicflid) toetbe, I wish that he may become happy 

Observations. 

(1) The Subjunctive, from its very nature, stands chiefly in de 
pendent clauses ; and, in these appears, under various circumstances. 
Thus, it is employed: 

(2) When the design of the speaker is merely to repeat or quote 
a statement, without vouching for its accuracy ; as, er fagt, ber 53anm 
fclftfie, he says, that the tree blossoms; er melbete mtr, bap er ftd) oer* 
fjeivatfjet ijabe, he told me, that he had been married. When, on the 
contrary, the design of the speaker is to set forth the thing repeated 
or quoted, as something real and undoubted, the Indicative must be 
used ; as, er toili e$ ntdjt gtanben, bap feht S3ruber geftorben tft, he will 
not believe, that his brother is dead. 

(3) In like manner, the Subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses, 
after such verbs as 1) often, to hope ; furd)ten, to fear ; roiinfdien, to 
wish; lootteit, to desire; Bitten, to ask; ra%n, to advise; tocrbteteu, 
to forbid ; crmafynen, to exhort ; since the event, in such cases, may 
be supposed to be always more or less uncertain ; as, er fiird)tet, bap 
er (Strafe erfyatte, he is afraid, that he may be punished. 

(4) So, also, the Subjunctive is employed in clauses which indi- 
cate an end, object, wish or result ; and which are introduced by bap, 
auf bap, bamit, or by a relative ; as, fprid) taut, bamit er ticl) oerftetje, 
Bpeak loud, that he may understand you ; er fndit Slrbeit, tt>eid)e Unn 
Q3rob gebe, he seeks work, which may give him bread. 

(5) In cases such as those explained in the observations above, 
the student must note, that that tense of the Subjunctive is employed, 
which corresponds with the one used by the subject of the depen* 
<lent clause, at the time when he said or did that which is affirmed o« 



430 8TNTAX OF THE VERB. § 144. 

Idm : as, er fagfe, cr fyabe biegmat feine 3eit, he said, that he had (li 
terally has) no time at present; cr fyatte mir gefagr, bajj er eg getfyan 
fjabe, he had told me, that he had done it. 

(6) The Subjunctive appears, also, in asking- indiiect questior? ; 
as, id) fragte ifyn, ob cr mir bag ©clb gebcn foune, I asked him, whether 
he could give me the money. When the question is made directly^ 
of course the Indicative is used. 

(7) The Subjunctive is sometimes employed as a sort of softened 
Imperative, to express a wish or permission ; as, gebe eg bcr £tmmel, 
may heaven grant it! biefcv ffiaum trage nie nrieber ftntdbt, let this (or 
may this) tree never again bear fruit ! er tljue toag er ttutf, let him do 
what he will ! 

§ 144. Rule. 

The Conditional mood is used, where a condition is supposed. 
which may or may not be conceived to be possible ; as, 

SBdve id) retcb, fo ttutrbe idh tljm fcine 93ttte utdit abgefditagen l)aben, 
were I rich, I would not have refused his request. 

SBenn cr nodi lebte, fo ttuirbe er 50 2>ai)ve alt fein, if he yet lived, he 
would be fifty years old. 

Observations. 

(1) Besides the two tenses ranged in the paradigms (See p. 328 
and following) under the head of the Conditional, it must be observ- 
ed that the Imperfect and the Pluperfect of the Subjunctive are 
equally often employed in expressing conditional propositions. In 
point of time, indeed, there is no difference between the Imperfect 
of the Subjunctive and the fiVt Conditional, and between the Plu- 
perfect of the Subjunctive and the second Conditional. Ordinarily, 
where both forms are employed in the same sentence, the Subjunc- 
tive will be found in the clause expressing the condition, while the 
form peculiar to the Conditional appears in the other ; as, id) hntrbe 
eg tfynn, toenn eg mogltd) todre, I would do it, if it were possible ; toenn 
er ()ter ware, toiirbe er bi<i) befucbt fyaben, if he were here, he would 
have visited you. 

^2) When the condition is assumed and treated as a fa /, it is 
expressed, not by the Conditional, but by the Indicative ; as, biji bit 
retcb, fo gicb niet, art thou (i. e. if thou art) rich, then give much. 

(3) Sometimes the a erb expressing the condition is merely un- 
derstood ; as, id) Ij&tte bte @ad)e anberg gemacbt, I should have done 
it otherwise (if it had been committed to me) ; in feiner ftaae £atte irf> 



USE OF THE CONDITIONAL AND IMPERATIVE. § 1 15. 4S] 

li ni&t getljan, (if I had been) in Ms situation, I would not have 
do no it. 

(4) Sometimes, in the way of exclamation, the condition is ex- 
pressed, while that which depends upon it is omitted : in which case 
the whole expression being of the nature of a wish or petition, is 
often introduced (in translation) by " O, " " I wish that, " and the 
like : as, (jdtte Id) bod) biefeit SKatrn me gefef;en ! as, O, that I had never 
seen this man ! literally, had I never seen this man (how happy 1 
should be) ! toaxt er becti am fieben ! O, that he were yet alive ! 

(5) The Conditional is frequently employed in questions designed 
to elicit a negative answer ; as, todre eg bemt Voal)x ? could it be true 1 
(it could not be true ;) bu ttdrejl fo falfd) gewefen ? would you have 
been so faithless ? (you would not.) 

(6) Not unfrequently the Conditional of the auxiliaries mogen, 
butfen, fctten, fonnen and meften, is employed to render an expres- 
sion less positive, or to give it an air of diffidence ; as, id) tooftte, <8ie 
bcgletteten mid), I could wish (instead of, I wish) you would accom- 
pany me ; id) medite fdurer $u iibevreben fern, I should be hard to be 
persuaded, or, it would be difficult to persuade me ; burfte id) Sie urn 
bag SKcflct bitten ? might I (be permitted to) ask you for the knife 1 

§ 145. Rule. 

The Imperative mood is used in expressing a command, entreaty 
or exhortation ; as, 

SurdUe ©ctt unb efyve ben Jtonig, fear God and honor the king. 

Observations. 

(1) The Imperative is sometimes employed to indicate a condi- 
tion, on which something is declared to depend ; as, fei ftolj unb ba 
toirji toenig SldUung ftnben, be haughty (i.e. if you be haughty) and 
you will find little regard. 

(2) In order to make a request in a manner modest and polite, 
instead of the Imperative, the Subjunctive of mogen and ivclten is 
often employed ; as, bit tooHeft fetner nie aergeffen, pray, never forget 
him ; mogen ©ie meiner gebenfen, may you remember, or -emember 
me, I pray. To express a decided command, however, the Indicative 
is frequently used. See § 142. 2. 

(3) Sometimes, by a peculiar ellipsis, the past Participle is em- 
ployed in place of the Imperative; as, utr nidit lang gefvagt ! do not 
ask long ! where the full phrase would be, eg tcerbe nur utcbt lang go* 
fragt, let it not long be asked ! 9tn bie Sltfcett gpgangen let ihem go 
to their wo rs ! 



432 SYNTAX OF THE VERB. $ 146. 

§ 146. Rule. 

The Infinitive mood either with or without the particle ju (to) 
preceding, is used to represent the being, action or passion, in a 
manner unlimited: as, 

©tcvbcn ijt DliditS, hod) teben imb ntdit fefyen, bag ift ein Ungtutf, 
to die is nothing, yet to live and not to see, that is a misfor- 
tune indeed. 
3>t SGBunfd) getobt ju tt>erben, the wish to be praised. 

Observations. 

(1) The Infinitive without $u, (to) appears, 

a. When, as a verbal substantive (§ 146. 3.), it is made either 
the subject or the object of a verb: as, ©eben ift feliger aU -Sftefymen, 
to give is more blessed than to receive ; bag nemtt er arbeiten, that 
he calls working. 

b. When it stands alone, as in a dictionary : as, loben, to praise ■ 
lieben, to love. 

c. After the verbs 

tyetpen, to bid: as, id) fyiefi itnt gel; en, I bade him go. 
fyelfen, to help: as, er t;ttft mtr fditeiben, he helps me to wrile. 
letnen, * to teach : as, er lefyrt bag Sl'mb lefen, he teaches the child tt 

read. 
levneit, * to learn : as, ruir letnen tanjen, we learn to dance. 
fp;en, to hear: as, id) fytive fie ftngcn, I hear them sing. 
fe f ;?n, to see: as, idi fe£;e ifjrt fommert, I see him come. 
fiUjicn, to feel : as, id) fiiijte ben 5pu(5 frbtagen, I feel his pulse beat. 
ftnbeit, to find: as, id) fanb bag 23udi auf bent £tfdbe liegen, I found 

the book lying on the table. 

a. After the auxiliaries of mood, mogen, fonnen, laffen, biirfen, folfen, 
xcciiin and miiffen, and after toerben, when employed as an auxiliary 
in forming the future tense. 

e. After the verbs following, in certain phrases, 
bleiben, to remain : as, er Mcibt ftt^en, he continues sitting, 

fafjven, to so in a carriage : as, id) fafjve fyajieren, I ride out for an 

airing. 

* Sebrett and lemon form exceptions to the observation in the text : admit- 
ting, as they do sometimes, the particle git between them and an Infinitive 
succeeding The student will note, also, that the Infinitive after all these verbs. 
is, in English, often best rendered by a participle : as, er finite fetn Q5lnr gat)icn, 
ne felt his blood boiling- 



<jefjen, 


to g\> or walk:

as, id) reite fpajieveu, I ride out for exer-

as, er tljut ni&)t$ at$ fdjelten, he does 
nothing but scold. 
\u is employed : 

a. After nouns and adjectives, which, in English, are followed either 
by the preposition to with the Infinitive or by of with a participle : 
as, id) wax frcf> ifyn ju fetjen, I was glad to see him ; @te fya&en fiujt ju 
fyicten, you have a desire to play; id) fcurmiibeeg ju ijoreit, I am tired 
of hearing it : 

b. After verbs, to express the end or object of their action : as, 
id) femme mit %i)nm $u fpredbert, I come to (i. e. in order to) speak 
with you: in which case also, the particle um often comes before 
git, to render the expression more forcible : as, liefcet bie Sugeub, um 
glucflidi ju feilt, love virtue, in order (um) to be happy. 

c. After the verbs following and others of like import: 
Qlufcutgen, to begin. Sogern, to delay. 
Stuf()6reu, to cease. ©etvofmeu, to accustom. 
S3efefj(eit, to command. ©ieueu, to serve. 
23itteu, to beg. <£>tntetd)en, to suffice. 
Gttrarteu, to expect. SBarnen, to warn. 
<§ofen, to hope. SBetgeru, to refuse. 
§urd)ten, to fear. (Srfeuuen, f to acknowledge. 
JDrefjeu, to threaten. 93efenueu, f to confess, 
©id) freueu, to rejoice. <2dieiiten, to appear. 

©id) fdhdmen, to be ashamed. SBitufdieu, to wish. 

<&i§ tubmen, to boast. SSerlangen, to desire. 

* -ZCTJacfcen however, cannot, as in English, be used to signify to make or 
cnuse by force : thus, to translate the English phrase, make him go out, the 
Germans say, lati (not madje) iftu hinau£a,ebeit The Infinitive without $U 
comes after tfjan, only when iticbtS alS precedes, in the example above. 

t (Srfeiuien and befennen are construed mainly with the preterite of the In- 
finitive: as, er. evfeimt, fid? fldvvt ju tjabttt, he acknowledges that he has been 
in error. 

19 



434 SYNTAX OF THE PARTICIPLE. § 147. 

93cteuen, to regret. S'rlauben, to permit 

$Pflkgen, to be wont. ©eftatten, to allow. 

gortfaJjren, to proceed. 93erbienen, to deserve. 

Untcvlajfcn, to neglect. SBBagen, to venture. 

$abcn, to have. SHMffen, to know, 

(gem, to be. Jftufcen, to be of use. 

«£>elfen, to help. Sfcontmen, to avail.

d. After the prepositions oljne (without) and jratt or anflatl [«* 
a'«zc? of): as, clme ein SBort ju fagen, without saying a word; anflatl 
jit fdbreibcn, instead of writing. 

(3) The Infinitive in German, as intimated before, often performs 
the office of a verbal Substantive. It is then commonly preceded by 
the neuter of the article, and has all the various cases: as. ba3 fcfigen 
fdhabet bem Sugnet ant meijten, lying injures the liar most; id) bin be$ 
®cl)en3 nri'ibe, lam weary of walking; jumOleifen bift bu nid)tgefd)itft. 
you are not fit for journeying. 

(4) The Infinitive active, in German, after certain verbs, as, fein, 
laffcn, ocvbietcn, befctjlen, &c. is not nnfrequently employed passively: 
thus, laj? it)u rufen, which (literally) means, let him call, may, also, 
signify, let him be called ; csj ift feme 3ctt ju jjerlteren, there is no time 
to lose, or to be lost. 

(5) The Germans often employ the Indicative or Subjunctive, 
preceded by bajii, where, in English, the Infinitive, preceded by to, is 
used : as, icb toeifi, ba$ cr ber, -JJlami ift, I know him to be (literally, ] 
know that he is) the man. 

(6) The Infinitive, in English, preceded by the words hoio, where, 
what, when, and the like, after such verbs as, tell, know, say and teach^ 
cannot be rendered literally into German: the Germans, in such 
cases, always using the Indicative or Subjunctive of such verbs as 
(often, miiffen, lo.nnen : as, id) toeijji, line id) eg tlum mup, I know how 
to do it, or (literally) I know how I must do it ; tefyreu <§?ie mid), ttaa 
id) fagen foil, teach me what to say. For the use of the Infinitive of 
uiogen, ivollcu, follcn, &c., in place of the past Participle See § 74. S. 

§ 147. THE PARTICIPLES. 

(1) The Participles, in German, are varied by cases : following 
the same rules of inflection as the adjectives. Having the nature of 
adjectives, the Present in a few, and the Preterite in many instances, 
readily admit, the degrees of comparison. 

(2) The use of the Participle, as such, however, in German, is 



t'SB OF THE PARTICIPLES. § 148. 435 

far more restricted than in English. For, in English, it is commonly 
used to form a distinct clause of a sentence ; and is thus made to 
indicate the lime, cause or means cf effecting that which is expressed 
in the main clause : thus, we say : Walking (that is, by or when 
walking) uprightly, we walk surely. This mode of expression can 
rarely, if ever, be adopted in German ; into which language, if we 
desire to translate the above sentence, we must say : toenit ttur aup 
richtuj toanbeln, fo toanbeln lint ftcfyer, that is, when we walk uprightly, 
r we walk surely. 

(3) So, too, we say in English : Having given him the money, he 
went away ; but, since there is nothing in German to correspond to 
this English compound Participle, it would be a gross error to at 
tempt to render the sentence literally. Resort must be had, as in the 
other case, to a different structure : thus, cite er il)m bag @efb gegeben 
Ijatte, ging er lueg, that is, after or when he had given him the money, 
he went away. In this way must all similar cases be managed : we 
must employ a verb in each clause and connect the two together by 
means of suitable conjunctions; such as, toeit, fornix, ate, ba and 
inbeni. 

§ 148. Rule. 

The Present Participle, like an attributive adjective, agrees with 
its noun in gender, number and case ; and may, also, govern the 
same case as the verb whence it is derived : as, 

2)et ladjenbe ftriifylmg, the smiling spring. 

,J?iU)Ienbe3 ©ctvanfe, cooling drink. 

5)ie atteg bctebenbe Sonne, the all animating sun, i. e. the sun tha* 
animates all. 

Observations. 

(1) This Participle is seldom, if ever, otherwise employed with a 
noun than in an attributive sense. Its predicative use is found al 
most altogether in those words, that have so far lost character a 
Participles, as to be commonly recognized only as adjectives : as, 

9leijenb, charming. SritcEenb, oppressive. 

itrdnfenb, mortifying. ^liepenb, flowing. 

©iitnefymenb, captivating. £inrcijjenb, overpowering. 

©rmgeitb, pressing. 

•Such a combination, therefore, as, I am reading, we are walking 
and the like, which is so common in English, is wholly inadmissible 
in German ; save in the instance of those Participles that have lost, 



436 SYNTAX OF TIIE P IRTIOlPLES. § 149. 

as just s.iid, their true participial character : as, bie %lctt) tjl brtngenb, 
the necessity is pressing. 

(2) The Present Participle, in connection with the article, ia 
often used substantively : the noun being understood ; as, bcr £e* 
fenbe, the reader, (literally) the (one) reading ; bk (Sterbenbe, the 
dying (female). 

(3) This Participle, however, cannot in German, as in English, 
be, by means of an article, turned into an abstract verbal noun. But 
in order properly to render such phrases as, the reading, the writing, 
into German, we must use the present of the Infinitive : thus, ba& 
£efen, bci3 <Sdn-eiben. 

(4) The Present Participle, as stated in the Rule, may govern 
the case of its own verb ; but it must be noted that the word so gov- 
erned, always precedes the Participle : ba& nnS ttcvfelgeube ©efdi itf, the 
us pursuing fate, i. e. the fate that pursues us. In some instances, 
the words are actually unitfd, forming compounds: as, etyrliebeitD, 
honor-loving, that is, ambitious ; gefefcgcbenb, law-giving, &c. 

(5) The Present Participle is sometimes used with the power of 
an A iverb ; that is, to express some circumstance of manner or con- 
dition : thus, tceineub fprcid) er ju mtr, weeping (i. e. weepingly) he 
spoke to me ; er fe|te fid) fd)toeigenb nieber, keeping silent (i. e. si. 
lentlij) he sat down. 

§ 149. Rule. 

The Preterite Participle is not only used in the formation of the 
compound tenses, but may, also, be construed with nouns, after the 
manner of Adjectives : as, 

3d) Ijcibe fyeute bag S5ud) gelefen, I have read the book to-day. 

din geliebteg St'inb, a beloved child. 

35er 2Jlann tji getefytt, the man is learned. 

Observations. 

(1) This Participle, in its character as an Adjective, is far mora 
frequently employed in German than in English. Indeed, many Pre. 
terites in German, having lost all character as Participles, are now 
used exclusiv ily as Adjectives. 

(2) The Preterite, like the Present Participle, is sometimes used 
in an adverbial manner: thus, bag 33ud) ift uertcren gegangen, the 
be ok is lost (literally, gone lost). 

(3) This is especially the case with certain Participles employed 
with the verb femmen; as, er fommt gefatjren, he comes driven, i. e. 
driving in a carriage ■ er femmt geritten, he comes ridden, i. e. riding 



SYNTAX OF THE ADVERBS. §150. §151. 43"? 

on horseback ; ct fommt geflogcn, he comes flying ; er fommi gelaufeit, 
he comes running, &c. 

(4) Kindred to this, is its use, when connected with a verb, to 
express the condition or state of the subject : as, jej3t fterb' id) be* 
rulugt, now I die content ; in feine £ugenb gefyitUt, trctjt er brv 23ers 
leumbuitg, wrapped in his virtue, he defies calumny. 

(5) The Preterite Participle usually in connection with the accu- 
sative, is in some phrases employed absolutely : as, Me Slugen gee 
Jpinunel gcvi&tet, his eyes being directed towards heaven ; ben ©ettrinn 
abgercdwet, the profit being deducted ; Mefeu Sail auSgenemmen, this 
case being excepted. 

(6) This Participle is sometimes elliptically used for the Impera- 
tive. (See § 145. 3.) 

§ 150. Rule. 

The Future Participle is used, when the subject is to be repre- 
sented as a thing that must or ought to take place : as, 
(Sine ju lobenbe Xtyat, a deed to be (i. e. that ought to be) praised. 

Observations. 

(1) What is called the Future Participle in German, is produced 
by placing ju before the present participle as above. It can be 
formed from transitive verbs only, and is always to be taken in a 
passive sense. It is chiefly to be found in the case of compound 
verbs: thus, I;ed)$uer/venber <£>err, the-highly-to be-honored i. e. the 
honorable, Sir. 

§ 151. THE ADVERBS. 
Rule. 

Adverbs qualify verbs, participles, adjectives and other adverbs : as, 

(§x fdirettt felten, he writes seldom. 

Qx I;at ben ©egenftcntb ttorirefflid) bef)anbett, he has treated the sub. 

ject admirably. 
£>iefc$ Q3udi ijl fefyr gut, this book is very good. 
dx arbeitet nid)t gem, he works unwillingly. 

Observations. 

Almost all adjectives in the absolute form are, in German, em- 
ployed as Adverbs. See § 102. 3. For remarks on the position of 
Adverbs in sentences, see the section on the arrangement of words 
§ 158. 



438 RYNTA2 OF THE PREPOSITIONS AND CONJUNCTIONS. § 152. 

§ 152. THE PREPOSITIONS. 

Rule. 

The Prepositions cmflatt, crufett;ctt&, bieffcitS, &c. (See the List 
§ 109.) are construed with the genitive. 

Observations. 

(1) When the same Preposition governs several nouns in the 
same construction, it is put before the first only ; as, id) bin veu meu 
iter <£>eimatf), ineincm 33atevlanbe unb mrfnen ftveunben getvenut, from 
my home, my country and my friends, am I separated. 

(2) For the right use and position of some of the Prepositions, 
much attention is required. See the Observations on those con- 
strued with the genitive : § 110. 

§ 153. Rule. 

The Prepositions au$, cntper, bet, &c. (See List § 111.) are con- 
strued with the dative. (See Obs. § 112.) 

§ 154. Rule. 

lTie Prepositions burd), fur, gegen, &c. (See List § 113.) are con- 
strued with the accusative. (See Obs. § 114.) 

§ 155. Rule. 

The Prepositions cm, cmf, 1) inter, &c. (See last § 115.) govern 
the aative or accusative : the accusative, when motion or tendency 
towaras is signified, but in the other situations the dative. (See 
Ots. § 116.) 

§ 156. THE CONJUNCTIONS. 
Rule. 

Conjunctions connect words and sentences in construction, and 
show their mutual relation and dependence ; as, 
Seljcmn unb SBilijelm get;en jur <Sd)ule, John and William are going 

to school. 
Sd) fal) eg ; bafycr toeijj id) eg, I saw it ; therefore I know it. 
(Sr ijl alter aU id), he is older than I. 

Observations. 

(1) Under the general name of Conjunctions in this Rule, must 
be included all words performing the office of Conjunctions, whether 



USE OF THE CONJUNCTIONS. § 156. 439 

properly such or not. Of these connective words three classes aie 
to be distinguished : 1. those that do not affect the order of the 
words of a sentence in which they occur (§ 160. 8.) ; 2. those that 
Always remove the copula to the end of the sentence (§ 160. 7.) ; 
3. and finally, those that do or do not remove the copula to the end 
according as they stand before or after the subject (§ 160. 8.). 

(2) The true force and use of the Conjunctions is best learned 
from examples ; of which see a large collection in Lesson 69. We 
subjoin, however, a few remarks in explanation of the following : 

a. 5(6cr, atfein, fonbern. 9lber is less adversative than either of 
the others. It is often merely continuative. Sltteut always intro- 
duces what is contrary to what might be inferred from what pre- 
cedes: as, er ift fe(;r fletpig, cittern cr lernt fefjr toenig, he is very in- 
dustrious, but he learns very little, (gonbern serves to introduce 
what is contradictory. It is used only when a negative precedes ; 
nidit ebct, fonbern fteittmfittyfg, not noble, but pusillanimous; eg iji 
toebet fdnuavj, nod) Brautt, fonbern griht, it is neither black nor brown, 
but green. 

b. 5)ajj, also cutf bap, introduces a clause expressing the end, ob- 
ject or result.: as, idi toeip, bap er fcmtnt, I know that he is coming. 
This form of expression is more common in German than in English. 
When bap is left out, the copula comes immediately after the sub- 
ject. See Note, page 445. 

c. S)od) introduces something unexpected or not properly proceed- 
ing from the antecedent: as, er iji fet>r reid), nnb I;at bod) weriffl geavbettet 
he is very rich, yet has he worked little. It is sometimes elliptically 
employed to indicate certainty, entreaty and the like: as, fagen ©ie 
mir bed), tell me, pray. 

d. 3e, like the definite article in English, is put before compara- 
tives to denote proportion. It, then, has befto for its correlative: thus, 
Je fWpiger cr ift, befto gelefyrter toitb er, the more diligent he is, the more 
learned he becomes. 2)efto sometimes comes before je : as, un 
Stva\t\vni ift befto fdioner, je ttottfommener eg ift, a work of art is the 
more beautiful, the more perfect it is. Sometimes je is employed 
Lefore both comparatives: thus, je mefyr, je beffer, the more, the better. 
Sometimes befto stands before a comparative without je answering 
to U : as, id) er\Mvtete nidit meincn $reunb ju futben, befto gtoper aber 
Irirrrmeine §veub?, als id) i(jn fat), I did not expect to find my friend, 
but the greater was my joy, when I saw him. 

* Dbgletd), cbfdien, cfcrocl;!, indicate concession. The parts are 
»f ven separated, especially by monosyllables : such as, id) bu, er, eS, 



440 SYNTAX OF TIIC INTERJECTIONS. § 157. 

ttiv, \t)X, fte. Often two or three such little words come between : as, 
cb er gleicrt ait ift, jc, although he is old, &c. ; ob id) mid) ^leid) freue, it., 
although I rejoice, &c. 

/ (go, after such conjunctions : as, roetl, aU, ba, ttenn, nadibem, ofo 
gteidi, obfdyon, obroot)l, fteringletd) and roiewol)t, introduces the subse- 
quent clause. This is chiefly the case, when the antecedent clause 
is long, or consists of several members : Ex. SGBeil bid) ©ott bie$ 2Ule3 
getoafyr. tuerben lief, fo ift -iftiemanb (o toeif* als bu, since God hath given 
thee to know all this, so (therefore) is no one so wise as thou. <5o 
commonly, however, denotes comparison : as, ber .ftnabe ift fo gut, 
aU ba3 Stabdien, the boy is so (as) good as the girl. So in the phra- 
ses, feroo()I aU audb, or fewest ate, so (as) well as : fobaib aU, so (as) 
soon as, &c. With aud) (fo — aud)) following, it signifies however ; 
as, fo grof bie ©ditecfeu beg jtriegeg aucb, jc, however great the ter- 
rors of war, &c. ; fo re id) er and) ift, jc, however rich he is, <fec.

§ 157. THE INTERJECTIONS. 

Rule. 

Interjections have no dependent construction. 

Observations. 

(1) Interjections stand generally before the nominative or the 
vocative ; as, £) ! tfjeuerfter SSater ! But sometimes the genitive, 
and sometimes the dative, is preceded by an Interjection : as, £), bet 
ftmtbe ! the joy ! 2Bef) mir ! Woe to me ! 



COLLOCATION OF WORDS. § 158. 441 

§ 153. COLLOCATION OF WORDS. 

(1) In the arrangement of words in sentences, the German differs 
widely from the English. Many differences of collocation, accord- 
ingly, have already been noted and explained in various other parts 
of this work. But, as every word and member of a sentence in Ger- 
man, takes its position according to a definite law of arrangement, 
and cannot, without great offense against euphony, be thrown out of 
its proper place, we subjoin here some general instructions on this 
topic. 

(2) The essential parts of every sentence, as already remarked 
(§ 119.), are the Subject and the Predicate. That which is used 
(properly some part of the verb of existence, f e in) to couple the 
subject and the predicate, is called the Copula. Now, arranging 
these three parts in their natural order, the subject will come first, 
the copula next, the predicate last : thus, 

Predicate. 

fcf)on. 

beautiful. 

jiarJ. 

strong. 

(3) When, as in the case of simple tenses, the copula and the 
predicate are both contained in a single word, that word holds the 
place of the copula ; while the place of the predicate either remains 
vacant, or is occupied by the object of the verb. Examples : 



Subject. 
£>te 23(ume 
The flower 


Copula.

Subject.

The soldiers

— 


3d) 


W 


biefen 3ftamt. 


I 


see 


this man. 



(4) In the case of compound tenses, however, the auxiliary takes 
the place of the copula ; which place is also held by the auxiliaries 
of mood (§ 74.) : the place of the predicate being occupied by the in- 
finitive or participle. If the verb be a compound separable (§ 90), 
the particle stands in the place of the predicate, wliile the radica 1 
forms the copula. Examples : 
19*

(5) ^Tien any of tl ose verbs which assume the place of the co»

tive belonging to them stands after the proper predicate. Examples*

(6) The object of a sentence comes between the copula and the 
Predicate ; and, if there be two objects, that of the person precedes 
that of the thing. Examples :

* Itm 9?atb with fraa,en fonns a phrase, (nm dlcitl) nac\cn, to ask for advice,

is made to play the same part in respect to a verb, that is sustained by a se- 
parable paiticle. This will account for the position of nm Matt) in the sen- 
tence : it being treated just like a separable prefix. Other phrases belonging 
to Uu£ class are : 



COLLOCATION OF WORDS. § 158. 443 

(7) Should both objects, however, be persons, the accusative 
conies first: except the oblique cases of the personal pronouns (id), 
tu, er, fie, c$, lvtv, tfjr, fie), which always take the precedence. 
Examples : 

Subj. Copula. 1st Object. 2d Object. Predicate. 

3d) I;abe bcineu <Scf)n meiuem greunbe empfoftfen. 

3d) l)abe bit* mehten @ofnt enipfof;(ciu 

(£r totrb i(;m feiue £rd)ter ge&en. 

(8) When two personal pronouns form the objects of a sentence, 
the accusative comes before the dative and the genitive. Examples * 

Subj. Copula. 1st Object. 2d Object. Predicate. 

<&k fyaben e3 mir gegeben. 

SBir ncljmcn unS fctner an. 

dr I;at ftd) mir empfefytcn. 

(9) Adverbs of degree and manner, or nouns governed by pre- 
positions and serving in the place of adverbs, when they refer ex- 
clusively to the verb, stand immediately after the object. Examples 

Subj. Copula. Object. Adverb. Predicate. 

(Bx befjaubctt feineu ©egenfianb fcottrefflid). — 

(St l;at feincn ©egenjianb Bortrefffid) fceljanbeft. 

Qt I;at bag (Mb mil greubeit auSgegefceu. 

(10) Adverbs of time, and phrases used instead of adverbs of 
time, commonly come before the object and before adverbs of place. 
Examples : 

Subj. Copula. Adverb. Object. Predicate. 

3d) Ijci&e geflevn einen ffirief gefdmeben. 

@r tfl t>or brei £agen in Sonbon — angefemmen. 

(11) Adverbs of place, and nouns with prepositions, used as 
isuch, generally come immediately before the predicate. Examples: 

Subj. Copula. Object. Adverb. Predicate. 

3d) $abe cinen SBttef au$ SBnlin ertyatten. 

3d) toerbe mctnen Selju nad) S|$art$ fd)icfcn. 

Bfilfe Ieiften, to render aid. VLnti ?ebett brtn«en f to deprive of life. 

Bu ^ftlfe Eoinmeu, to come to the aid. £fofc bieteit, to bid defiance. 

Ra iDlittag cffeit, to dine. B" S:t)etl werbeu, to fall to one's part 

goifte tragm, to take care. SRatb (\tbtn, to give advice. 

3n ©runb'e fleben, to perish. ©*&6f aebert, to grant a hearing. 

%u ©runbe vtrbten to ruin. ©efaljt laufcu, to run a risk. 

3u§ SESevf ff^cu, to execute. * ©till ftebett. to standstill. 

3h Staiibe brtttgrh. to accomplish. S*fi baltea, to hold fast. 

5ld)t Qebnt, to pay attention. 



444 COLLOCATION OF WORDS. § 159 t 

(12) Nouns and pronouns with the prepositions appropriate to 
the verb employed in the sentence, generally come immediately be- 
fore the predicate. Examples : 

jet) babe menials fiber hm ©egenftanb niit ifjm gefyrcdjen. 
3d) irevbe menials in niehiem Seben ju il;m getjen. 

When, however, the preposition with its noun is merely used to 
denote the cause or purpose, &c, of what is expressed by the verb, 
it stands before the object. Examples : 

SBir rranfen geftern aitS SOlangcl an 53ier SBaffer. 
3d) fennte tljni v>er Steuben feine Slntttort geben. 

§ 159. Inversion. 

(1) In all the cases preceding, the natural order of the leading 
parts has been preserved ; that is, the subject first, the copula next, 
and the predicate last. But for the sake of giving special emphasis 
to particular words, this order is often inverted. Thus, the real, or 
logical subject is made emphatic by being put after the copula : the 
pronoun e 3 taking its place as a grammatical subject: as, eg tjebt 
bie $ret|eit tl)ve $alme auf, liberty uplifts her standard. When, again, 
either the copula or the predicate is to be rendered emphatic, they 
exchange places : thus, (predicate emphatic) ftetben mi'iffcn Side, die 
must all. The chief places in which the copula receives the stress, 
are, 

a. in direct questions ; as, fdbreibt bev SRann ? 

b. in imperatives; as, r \^,ien <Ste nut iljmj 

c. in the case of mbgeu, vvhen used to express a wish ; as, tttb'ge tt 
bev £>immel geBen!" 

d. in cases where surprise (generally with bod)) is to be expressed; 
as, ift bed) bie (Stabt rote gefeljrt ! 

(2) When, on any one of those words which, in the natural or 
-ler, come between the copula and the predicate, we wish to lay spe 
i.ial emphasis, it must be put either before the other Avords standing 
between the copula and the predicate, or else before the subject. In 
• rus latter case, however, the subject and the copula exchange places: 
thus, mtr ven (5'blem faun (S'bleeS ftammen ; where the common order 
would be: (i*bleS fami nur r>en @blem ftammen. These inversions, 
however, chiefly occur when principal and subordinate sentences are 
connected by conjunctions. 



skitterces : principal and subordinate. § 160. 445 

§ 160. Sentences: principal and subordinate. 

(1) A principal sentence is one that expresses by itself an inde- 
pendent proposition : thus, It was reported; He deserves ; John toils. 

(2) A subordinate sentence is one, that serves as the complement 
to a principal sentence ; and without which it conveys no complete 
idea. Thus, in the expressions, It was reported, that the town was 
taken ; He deserves, that we should defend him ; John toils, although 
he is rich : the first, in each case, is the principal and the second the 
subordinate sentence. 

(3) In the natural order, the principal precedes the subordinate 
sentence. But this order is often reversed; in which case the order 
of the subject and the copula in the principal sentence, is also re- 
versed. Tims, in the natural order we say, id) tueip, bap er e$ ntd)t 
ttum fann, i" know, that he can not do it. Putting the subordinate 
sentence first, it will stand: bap er e» nid}t t^un fann, toeip id), that he 
can not do it, know I. 

(4) When, however, the subordinate sentence comes in after the 
copula (i. e. before a part only) of the principal sentence, the natural 
order of the latter remains unchanged : as, id) fanb, aU id) in Scnbcn 
anfam, metnen Sveuiib nidit. 

(5) In subordinate sentences, the common order of the leading 
parts, differs from that of principal sentences, in making the copula* 
come last, i. e. in making the copula and the predicate exchange 
places. Examples : 

Copula. 

Grr, treldiet mir bin S3rief brad)te. 

He, who to me the letter brought. 

2)er, beflen #cr§ rein iji. 

3d) iueip, too id) ifnx gefel)en fyaBe. 

(£r fagt, bap er eg nidit ttjun fann. 

dx ift arm, toeil er fei)r trage iji 

(6) The subordinate sentence is usually connected with the prm 
cipal one by means of some conjunctive word. The conjunctive 
word so employed, is either a relative pronoun, a relative adverb, or 
some conjunction proper, expressing cause, condition, purpose, iimi- 
tation or the like, See the examples under the preceding paragraph, 

(7) The conjunctions employed in connecting principal with sub 
ordinate sentences, are, aU, auf bap, beoer, bie, ba, bafern, bamit, bap, -f 

• The copula is sometimes entirely omitted ; as, £vts iMurt), Dad er mir g^bci > t"« b°°k that he (hat 

| ZM6 is sometimes omitted ; in which case the copula stands, not at the end, but just as iff a priacip* 
••ntence : thus, tr fagt, tr fount ftfartibcn.

toenn fd)on, voenn aud), rote, tine and), tinevoofyl, n>o, tvofcrn, oB$tt>ar. These all 
remove the copula to the end of the sentence. 

(8) The following are the conjunctive adverbs, which are used to 
connect subordinate sentences with principal ones, after the manner 
of real conjunctions: aupcrbem, bal)er, bann, alSbann, barum, be^rocgen, 
bej$an>, bennod), be'ffcmmgead)tet, bepgletdjen, befto, etncrfettS, anberfctts, enb*

tngteid)en, in fo fern, in fo roett (fo roctf), jcbodj, itbrigcnS, iibcrbicS, inctmefjr, 
ti)or)l, jnbent, gti)ar. These all reverse the order of subject and copula, 
when they stand before the subject ; when, however, they come after 
the copula, the natural order of the sentence obtains. 

3e met)r man r)ar, befto mefir »erlangt The more one has the more one 

man, desires. 

Sr tft franf, batjer Mcittt er ju #aufe. He is sick, hence he stays at home. 

S f ?ad)I;cr gtng er ttneber rr>cg. Afterward he went away again. 

(9) £ntetn, benn, fonbern, unb and obcr always stand at the head of a 
sentence without influencing the order of the other words. Stber and 
ndinltd) may, also, occupy the first place without changing the position 
of the other words. 

(10) Where a mood-auxiliary, or any such verb as takes the infinitive 
without ^u, occurs together with an other infinitive, the copula stands 
before the two infinitives: thus, roenn id) e3 Ijdtte trjun muffen it., not

There are in German, as in other languages, numerous idiomatic 
phrases. Many of these can not be rendered literally into English with- 
out a great sacrifice both of sense and sound. Still their meaning and 
application must be familiar to the student. We give below, therefore, 
a somewhat extended list; adding, to each, either some equivalent 
phrase in our own language, or, where it will bear it, a regular ti ans- 
lation. In every case, however, it will be highly advantageous to the 
student to put the phrase first in a perfectly literal dress, and then 
deduce from it, if possible, the thought, which it is employed to convey. 

% When wenn is left out the subject and copula stand as in a ques- 
tion: thus, wenn id) e3 gefdjrteoen fjdrte, :c, or (without roenn) $drte id) e$ 
gefdjrtefcen, fo rcihbe id) eS 3|nen gefagt tyar-eit.

READING LESSONS. 



-*sJ-o— <>— »-&- 



The following selections are from various sources; all excellent. 
however, and embracing a great diversity of style and matter. The 
student, therefore, who has become familiar with i]\a grammatical 
course laid down in the preceding part of this book, will enter upon 
these reading lessons with no little pleasure. With the aid of the vo- 
cabulary, which is sufficiently full, and the references to the grammar, 
which are quite numerous, he can, indeed, find no serious difficulty. 
Many more references might have been made; but he who duly con- 
sults those already given, will not. it is believed, be in want of further 
guidance in the use of his grammar.

FASQUELLE'S 
FREN CH SERIES. 

By LOUIS FASQUELLE, LL.D., 

Professor of Modern Languages in the University of Michigan 



CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES. 

1. The plan of this popular Series embraces a combination 
of the two rival systems ; the Oral, adopted by Ollendorff, 
Robertson, Manesca, and others, with the old Classical, or 
Grammatical System. One of its principal features is a con- 
stant comparison of the construction of the French and English 
Languages. 

2. Another important feature consists in the facility with 
which the instructor or student can elect in the course of stud} 
the practice and theory combined, or as much or as little of 
either as he deems proper. 

3. The " Course" commences with a complete though short 
treatise on pronunciation, presenting the power of each letter 
as initial, medial, or final, and also its sound when final and 
carried to the next word, in reading or speaking. 

4. The changes in the words are presented in the most simple 
manner, and copiously exemplified by conversational phrases. 

5. The rules of composition, grammatical and idiomatical, 
are introduced gradually, so as not to offer too many difficulties 
at one time. 

6. The verbs are grouped by tenses, and comparisons insti- 
tuted, showing their resemblance or difference of termination 
in the different conjugations. 

7. The second, or theoretical part, offers, in a conden^ea 
form, a solution of the principal difficulties of the language. 

8. The Rules are deduced from the best authorities, and ill us- 
traded by short extracts from the best French writers. 

9. A treatise on gender is given, containing rules for determin- 
ing gender by the meaning of words, and also by the termination. 

10. The Irregular, Defective, and Peculiar verbs are pre* 
sented in an Alphabetical Table, producing a Complete Dic- 
tionary of these verbs.

Superintendents and Boards of Education, by hundreds of 
distinguished Professors and Teachers, whose testimonials 
▼ould fill a volume. The following are specimens : 

Joseph Wm. Jenks, Professor of Languages in the University 

ef Urbana, 0., says: — ,l I hare taught many classes in the French language, and d 
not hesitate to say, that 'Fasquelle's French Course 1 is superior to any other Frenc 
Grammar I have met with, for teaching French to those whose mother-tongue 
English. It combines, in an admirable manner, the excellences of the old, or classio 
and the new, or Ollendorlfian methods, avoiding the faults of both. 11 

Messrs. Guillaume II. Talbot, T. A. Pelletier, E. II. Vian, 

H. Sest, and N. B. De Moxtrakchv, well known to the community as among th« 
most eminent teachers in BOSTON, unite .n a testimonial in which they "heartily 
and unanimously testify, that the work is held in high esteem and approbation among 
us, and that we consider it the very best heretofore published on the subject of which 
It treats. For the true interest of all engaged in the study of the spoken French, we 
•^ould advise its nniversal adoption."

«tyle and grammatical and critical exercises and annotations."
